I worked with gerry a bit during the 36 closeout. He was a great person to work for and I will miss the random conversations he would engage me in. You will be missed Gerry and I feel comforted that you are in a better place.

I have worked with Jerry on many projects for the Titan and Atlas program over the years. We grew older and wiser together. I will truly miss Jerry as a Launch Ops teammate and friend. My thoughts are with you and your family!

Jerry and I have worked closely for many years supporting the Titan and Atlas launch programs.  We had many challenging tasks which Jerry could always be depended upon.  He certainly was the â€œGo to Guyâ€ to make things happen and will certainly be missed.  Jerry and I also shared a love for the New York North Country.  We would swap stories about snowy winters and beautiful summer days on the lake.  I will always have fond memories of Jerry.

Jerry and I have worked together for many years on numerous challenging tasks supporting Titan and Atlas launch operations.  He certainly was get the job done kind of person.  We both enjoyed sharing our love for the North Country of New York and swapping stories of snowy days and beautiful summer weather.  I will certainly miss Jerry but will always keep him in my fond memory.

Jerry and I would talk about coaching.
He coached Baseball and I softball. You could always see that twinkle in his eye when he talked of those times. You could tell those were good times for him. He could be a pain at times but you always knew you could count on him. My sincere respect and prayers go out to his family.

Jerry was my baby brother.  I took care of him when he was young, and he took care of me as we grew older!!  He was a very giving person, honest, loving, and always there when I needed him.  Yes, Jerry will truly be missed by his big sistie and her family.  Beverly Purpura, Gainesville, Florida

You will be missed, You were a fantastic guy. Always there with a smile and wanting to help

I worked with Jerry for at least 20 years in the aerospace industry, we colaborated on many projects together, it was always a pleasure working with Jerry, he will be missed, my thoughts and prayers are with Jerry and his family.

Gerry was a pleasure to work with. Always willing to do something extra to see the job done right and always with a smile. A very good man.

I enjoyed working with Gerry on the Titan IV program at CCAFS. We 'burned the midnight oil' many times during R-count taking close-out photos. He was a great guy with a great sense of humor, and working with him made the long hours pass more quickly.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Gerry, being the go to guy you are; you will be certainly be missed by all of us (except the mosquitoes). None the less, I'm sure the Big guy has already determined he has a tremendous asset in his mitts, consequently you will not be unemployed for long. Take care, and keep an eye on us; make sure we stay out of trouble.
