It is with a heavy heart that I learned of Jerry's death yesterday (11/13/09). Twenty years ago, when I moved into my office at 251 Riverside Ave., Jerry was the first person to welcome me, with his law offices right down the hall. He was a wonderful, caring guy.

Dennie, I know that you will be surrounded by a strong support group of friends and family as you grieve Jerry's death, Having grieved the loss of a spouse, I know it just takes time. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, and call on me if I can ever help in any way.

Your neighbor and friend.
