Condolences from the O'Leary family, my parents Neal and Dolores just got back from Florida and told us the sad news today, my brother Dan who also worked with Jerry gave some fond remembrances of him
along with my dad who said Jerry was his best friend at work. I also remember him from my days of hanging out at the CFD shops as a kid during the summers.

Mary: Please accept my deepest sympathies for you and your family. Jerry and I go back to when he got me on Bondi's and you know he always kept me up to date with everything going on with everyone in Chicago as I last talked to him about a month ago. Jerry had the greatest memory of anyone I ever have known and I will also miss talking to him.
