Jerry was a peach. He wrote a personal thank you back in the 1990s after reading my op-ed for the Argus Leader arguing that the state had no claim on unused gift certificates. Later I served on the SDRA board his last couple years in charge. Steady, smart, profane, and wicked funny. Loved that guy. Prayers to his family. RIP.
Jerry was a pleasure to work with over a couple decades. Hard-working, diligent, fun-loving, always caring for the state and its citizens. Rest In Peace, my friend.
