          Sad news indeed. As Gary noted, Jerry was a wonderful, long-time supporter of the NCRS and will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this difficult time. Flowers have been sent on behalf of NCRS for Jerry's service tomorrow.

              Jerry has always been a Treasure to the Corvette Community and to everyone that knew him. First met Jerry back in the early 80's at Bloomington as he had his tables along the front along with many others that have passed on. My thoughts are with Scott and the family.
              Rest in Peace Corvette Brother. We will always miss you and your Corvette Family!

                      I met Jerry while working as an Apprentice Toolmaker in 1977. He walked in our shop with Wayne Walker and Jack Podell, and shortly after that visit we were making fabricated tubular parts for all three of them, and their new businesses. Jerry took a liking to me due to his background as a Toolmaker, and one day I asked for his advice on how to go about buying an old Corvette. His answer was joining the NCRS...

                      RIP Jerry, and Thanks for the advice....

                              Second that! Jerry is where I got many of my '57 parts in the early days. Like many of us I received the email from CC announcing Jerry's passing and was surprised. Gary, thanks for passing info along. See you next month!
