Dear Family, I was so sorry to hear of Jerry’s death. I worked with him for many years at LaCroix Optical Co. in Batesville. Though not working in the same department our paths crossed many times on several different projects Jerry was working. He was a quiet, unassuming leader and I considered him a friend. I will hold your family up in prayer. God bless!
