Sorry to hear this about Jerry, I worked many years with him at Thales in the repair department, he was always cutting up making everybody laugh and that would make the day go by fast at work, I wish his family well in the years ahead.

I remember Jerry from the Wilcox days. Always in a good humor. There were two Jerrys who worked along side each other, Jerry Hanway and Jerry Collier.
