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.
Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. May God give you the peace that you seek
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.
