I worked with Jerry for 27 years. He was the same person the last day I worked with him as he was the first day I worked with him. I love Jerry as a friend and will surely miss him, especially the first Saturday in May 2017 when the Equifax group gets together for their annual luncheon.
Jerry was such a dear friend. I know your family will miss his wisdom and guidance. May you feel comfort in knowing he is in his perfect Home. I never attend worship that I don’t think of him. Becky Harden
