Sorry to hear of the loss of Jerry.
As a young man I worked seeral years with Jerry and Ray Benway. Through those years I came to highly respect Jerry for his character as a man and a coworker. His word and his handshake meant everything. We worked on many jobs where professional trust meant your safety. It was nearer a question with Jerry.
My condolences to the family.
