We will miss so many things! He was a voracious reader, he read the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times, and on the weekends, the NY Times. I will miss the wonderful articles Jerry shared with us in the office. We will miss the wonderful conversations on all topics during the many lunches and dinners. Most of all, we will miss the stories he would tell about all of his amazing life experiences. He was one in a million. God Keep You Always Jerry.

We all will miss this wonderful man. For years, Jerry met weekly for lunch with my dad, John Conley. They discussed politics, the markets, and their approach to aging. Its a loss we will all feel. Our prayers for the Targun family.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

My heart goes out to the Targun family. Not only was Jerry Pro Football Weekly's most loyal lifetime subscriber. He was a wonderful man who treated me to many a lunch over the years, always probing me for inside info on the Giants.

It was a great honor to have known him. Rest in peace, my friend......Dan Arkush
