  7. Jerry and my dad were best friends for a long time. They both loved Fenton Khoury League, Busch beer, Marlboro’s, the people they worked with and their wives and kids. Jerry was a good man. He was one of very few people who encouraged me to be a lawyer. Most everyone said it would be a mistake and that I’d never make it. Jerry said in our kitchen: “Go for it, Richie.” Very sorry for your loss. God bless Jerry’s soul.

  13. Worked with Jerry for years at Art Haack Buick. Had some good times going on test rides and stopping at Spanky’s for an ice cream and having a beer with him and Richie Klein after work at the station. Very good mechanic , I missed him when he went to Fabick. We drifted apart, I would see him at car shows in the area and we would talk about the good old days. Good man great sense of humor. Prayers to his family. Bud Dorlac
