Jerry was always a pleasure to work with and seldom had a critical word for anyone, and I mean anyone. As well Jerry was not one that came to the front needing help at an investigation. Hi green al the way Bud.

I'm very sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was one of the most liked guys on the railroad. He was such an easy going person. I always felt good when the crew caller called and said Jerry was on your crew. I'll miss seeing him at Costco for lunch. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jerry was always a pleasure to work with on the railroad. I'm sure that, like me, many of the people he crewed with have fond memories of him. My condolences to his family.
