Jerry’s death was just brought to my attention and I am really shocked, condolences to all of his family and beloved ones. I worked with him in our international environment of W.L. Gore. An always honest and dedicated, entertaining and funny guy left us way too early…miss you…Jerry.

Donna, Aaron, Ellen and family, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Jerry from a mutual friend – Brian Keller.  We only met a few years ago. I always enjoyed speaking with him from time to time.  He certainly was the world traveler and was happy to settle down with a more local position that kept him closer to home. My prayers go out to all of you. He will be missed.

Dear Donna, Aaron and Ellen,
I have learned that, eventually, there will come a time when joy of your memories will become stronger than the sadness of your grief. Please know that we will hold you in our thoughts and prayers, until that time comes.  Love,
Beth Schoelkopf for the 5 of us

Dear Donna and family, please accept my sincerest condolences on your loss. It was my honour and great pleasure to work with Jerry over many years. He was always ready to help and support and was incredibly reliable. As I was based in Germany, our contact was usually per telephone or email, so it was always a special treat to meet up with him personally, whether in Germany, USA or Japan. He was a wonderful person with a dry and sometimes, wicked, sense of humour and a lovely smile.

Donna and family, I am so sad to hear of Jerry’s passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you go though this difficult time.  Jerry was a very special person who I had the privilege to work with at Gore.  We worked together on many projects and he always went above and beyond in getting things done.  He was my right hand man and who we all turned to for guidance and direction.  He was highly respected by the team around the world and helped hundreds of associates grow and develop new skills throughout the years.  He was truly one of a kind and we will all truly miss having him here with us.  My heartfelt sympathies to all of you.

Donna and family: We were so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. Please accept our deepest condolences on your loss.
Jerry was truly a great man. As a worker with Gore, he was tenacious and tireless; never quitting until the job was done to his exacting standards. As a leader in IT, Jerry was a great listener and empathic friend. He would never solve your problem, but he would always be willing to help. As a friend, Jerry was funny, happy and simply a joy to be with. Some of my fondest memories in Gore were traveling with Jerry.
We will miss him and we share your sorrow, but we will remember him with joy and a smile on his face.

Dear Donna and family,
Jerry has always been one of the most reliable, most trusted and well respected leader for the Gore Asia Pac IT team. He has always been the bridge to close the gaps between all regions.

Donna and Family,
My deepest condolences to you and the family as Jerry was taken home far too soon.
Jerry was an great colleague and I always appreciated his guidance during our trips to Japan. I’ll never forget my first trip to Japan and the airlines losing my luggage. Jerry was so kind and went out of his way to make sure I was ok and found everything I needed locally to get by for a few days. What fond memories I’ll keep forever.
Rest in peace Jerry.
