Jerry was a such a nice man, that I met through his sister Dorothy who I worked with at Eastman with and met their sister Shirley at work to, which is a great family to be aquantied with, and so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with all of you, and may God continue to comfort all of you. God bless you all.
