    Bev & family. I worked with Jerry at Bedford Machine for 3 years. I can not think of anyone I enjoyed working with more than Jerry. He was a great singing partner at work (holding a file acting as the handle was our mic). After I was laid off, I often missed Jerry's wit and sense of humor. So sorry for your loss and I consider it a loss to me.
