i love you and miss you so much papa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my sympathy to the family:
Mr. Thrall was a gentleman and a nice guy as well as a good boss.I worked at Thrall from 73 till 79 and he was very nice to me.
respectfully and sincerely

m y sympathies to Lynn and the thrall f amily.His mom and dad,mildred and Art gave my folks Jerry's bedroom set when I entered M.P.M.A. in 1950 my grandson will use it

My sympathies to the Thrall family. Jerry was the first exectutive I had any contact with. I will always remember how he would tour the Thrall Car production lines and could always show you something to correct or improve, but he did it in such a natural down-to-earth way so that you would not only want to fix it but also wand to make improvements on your own. A real gentleman.

Lynn Thrall and Family,

We were saddened to learn that Jerry was gone. He was a fine man,gracious,
thoughtful, kind and caring. Wether in Palm Desert or Flossmoor we could always
expect to see the two of you around the
corner.
He has gone to be with the Lord so we are
happy for him. Our Prayers are for the
family and friends he left behind.
MAY GOD BLESS AND COMFORT YOU.

Jerry was a wonderful executive and the example of a true gentleman. I deeply enjoyed working in the Thrall Enterprises organization and I learned a great deal about authentic leadership from his approach. He will be missed!

My sincerest condolences to Marilyn and the entire Thrall family. Jerry was such a warm, wonderful person who always greeted you with with a great smile and a sincere handshake. You will always be loved and greatly missed by everyone.

Andy Surma

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

One of the nicest people I have ever met.
Always a twinkle in his eye.
He loved to tease , me about where I lived, how I played golf, just about anything!!
The best three wood shot I have ever seen on a long par three, unfortunately against ME.
He looked at me and said "Don, it is not how far you hit it..it is where you hit it". He then birdie the hole.
I will miss him.
God Bless

To the entire Thrall Family,
I had met both Jerry & Lynn many years ago at OFCC when there with my grandfather (Arnie Bauer). Later I had the opportunity to work with Brooke on some St. James fundraisers & again see the family. This past October-when Lynn & Jerry were honored by St. James, the importance & closeness of your family was very prominent. May you find comfort in your memories of Jerry & knowing that 'what he stood for' will live on via his children & grandchildren. Deepest Sympathies

Jerry was a great man to work for at Thrall Car, and I had great respect for him. He was a kind and caring person, and he loved and respected all his employees. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Lynn and family,

While I never had the good fortune to meet Jerry, I have known Jeff and Jay for many years, and I know they are part of a very close and loving family. Pat and I extend our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Dear Lynn, Jeff, Randy, Brooke, Jay, Chris and Jan,

I was sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. As a young man in business, he took me under his wing and was a mentor. As individuals, we are all a patchwork quilt of the people we respected and admired in life. Jerry has many patches in my quilt and I carry those important pieces of him around with me everyday. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

Dear Lynn, Jeff, Randy, Brooke, Jay, Chris and Jan,
I was so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was a terrific guy and I know you will miss him dearly. I have so many wonderful memories of all the good times we had at your house when we were growing up. It always went without saying that before or after every major event we would all plan to "meet at Thrall's". How you put up with us all those years is still a mystery to me but I am sure glad you did! My sympahties to all of you on your loss but I know Jerry will be in all our hearts forever.
Sincerely,
"Fur"

It was pleasure for our Family to know Jerry and his Family over many years. I think the Family relationaship goes back 3 generations. He will certainly be missed.

The Buddig Family

I never met a more generous or caring individual. He will be so sadly missed at OFCC. Our deepest sympathy to Lynn and all of his family that he loved so much.

The Skurka family extends it's heart felt condolences to the entire Thrall family on the loss of your father/grandfather and husband. We all feel fortunate to have known Jerry. He was always kind and thoughtful and most importantly listened to and recalled conversations. That is thoughtful! He will certainly be missed by all of us.

"Mr. T." was a wonderful man; wise, patient, and very generous. While he may have been my boss, he was equally as much a father figure to me. I will miss him greatly
