Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I knew Jerry through his position at the Airport Public Safety – he was the ‘go-to’ guy for everything airport related. In this instance, the good do die young.
I am saddened by the loss of Jerry, he was a good friend and colleague. His wicked little laugh and humor always brightened your day when you needed it most. I still can’t figure out how to change the channels on my TV after Jerry worked on it. You will be missed.
I am deeply sorry for your loss! I admired Jerry’s dedication and professionalism as well as his sense of humor and am proud to call him my friend!!
