I am honored and blessed to have known Jerry. He was truly a blessing in my life and I will miss him. Jerry believed in me as I started my career at Ross- he took the time to share his experiences and guide me as needed- I am grateful for his sharing. My condolences to the family.

Jerry and I worked together at Ross Labs on the introduction of the first infant formula for very premature infants. He was a great colleague and I am sorry to hear of his passing. God bless. Angie Cameron

We knew Jerry and his family when they first moved to Westerville. they lived accross the street from us on Main Street then. Jerry was a very good neighbor and a wonderful friend. He and I kept in touch via phone these last 4 years. I moved to Bend Oregon after my husband Phil passed away in 2008. Jerry was there for us he drove Phil to Chemo and radiation. He will be missed by me and Katie and Steven my children. My prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. Love geri Koslowsky
