Also me.  Jerry was my first friend at my first Pawpaw International 
Conference and I saw him again at the first NAFEX meeting I attended.  
He was very generous with his vast knowledge, always polite and kind.  
An organizer so excellent he made conferences look Easy, organizations 
exciting.  He will be missed!

He was undaunted by challenges, and I am hoping some of us can help 
carry on and save Jerry's work, which would also be saving Jim 
Claypool's work.
