My sincere condolence to Karen and family. I’ve know Jerry since 1969. We worked together at Corn Products and through several name changes. When we were bought by National Starch & Chemical we worked closely in union related business. He on the Union side and I on the Management side. I have always admired Jerry for his kindness and common sense. When I think of him, I think of him as a peacekeeper/peacemaker. We had many conversations on how we could have harmony between management and Union. Please know that Jerry was well liked and well respected. He will be missed. He did a great job of keeping us all in contact to attend the Retiree Breakfasts every month. God Bless you.
