We are so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. We have fond memories of parties at his beautiful home in the Black Earth countryside. Jerry was a great architect I was lucky to share projects with, and he was a caring friend. Vickie Wenzel + Terry Schlick

I am sorry to learn of Jerry's passing. Although we were not friends, I knew him professionally. He was always pleasant to run into - always having a nice chat. May his memory be for a blessing. Peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Jerry. I knew him since his HSR days. He was always respectful and supportive of me as an interior designer. A kind and gentle man. He will be missed.
