Hi Lori
I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. Thoughts and prayers to and the family.
I worked closely with Jerry in VS 21 squadron and he was a very devoted friend and shipmate. Honest to the core, a caring and loving human being who always thought of others over himself. I will always remember him and hope when I leave the planet we meet up again. Farewell my friend. Mark Baugh

Dear family: I was very sorry to hear about Jerry’s passing. Jerry was my Group Director in the Financial Services Group at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Windsor Mill, Maryland, for many years. During this time, he was always fair and pleasant in all my interactions with him. I know he endured a lot health-wise in recent years but now is at peace. May God be with you all in the days ahead.
Best personal regards, Brian R. Pabst (from CMS)
