    So sorry to hear about Jerry’s passing. I worked with Jerry at Xerox in the late 70’s. He was a great Tech and guy.

    and bring you comfort and may our prayers ease the pain of this loss.

    Margo, you are in my prayers. Sorry to hear of Jerry’s death. He was a wonderful friend. I will be on the West Coast at time of service.
