I first met Jerry in the 70's at 3M. He was one of the first to welcome me and said if he could do anything to let him know. We became good friends.

He was such a wonderful, kind, caring person and a true gentleman.

I will never forget him.

As an "immigrant" to Minnesota, Jerry did more than anyone to help me get comfortable both in this new place to live and at 3M. From playing cribbage at lunch, to helping me fix things around the house, to explaining 3M's many test procedures and ways of doing business, he was always there with a helping hand and a smile. He has always been in my thoughts and will be greatly missed.

My heart is with all of you! From the day I met Jerry, a genuinely fine, endearing, kind-hearted, spiritually-minded, generous, twinkley-eyed man became my friend. His love for his heavenly Father, Jehovah (with whom Jerry's memory remains forever safe) and for his dear wife and family (whose hearts hold him forever close) truly exemplifies a life well-lived. Much love to you all!

Thinking of you all, sending love and prayers. Soon we will see him playing cribbage and the accordion again!

Jerry was the most wonderful person I have ever known. He always treated me as if I was one of the family. The best day was when he became a servant of Jehovah. I can't wait until we see him again and hear his laugh. All my love to you Margaret and family.

I used to work with Jerry at TCM in the late 70's. I have many wonderful memories of my time there. He was a gentle giant. He will be greatly missed.

A "Gentile Giant" in many ways, Jerry was like an older brother to me. I will always cherish memories of working with Jerry at 3M and the many fishing trips with the guys. God bless Margaret and family during this difficult time.
