AKA King of the Road, and truly he was.  A great man and an excellent tech, Jerry had all the stories. He was known to play a significant role in more than a few, too. Jerry was one of the first techs I met at my first outage, Peach Bottom U2 in 76. He taught me alot, but one of the most important was his understanding when I said it was time for me to go. Many were telling me to stay, to keep building my career. Jerry told me not to worry, there was always work but life needed to be enjoyed.
RIP Jerry RIP.
