My first meeting Jerry was my first days as a Garlock salesman and we were at a sales meeting in Pasagula Miss. Jerry was to speak to the attendees and I saw this microphone and recorder and as they announced him they stuck a cigar into a holder and lit it and hit the tape recorder and it was Jerry speaking to the group. Jerry was anything but shy when in a social setting but had this fear of speaking in front of a group. Jerry was a plain talking great guy and wa a real garlocker who contributed much to it's success. I am sorry for your loss but wanted to give my heart felt condolences..

My father worked for Jerry in the 80's. During high school summers I worked for Jerry at Triangle Packing. He even let me work for him in between jobs after college. I continued to work with Jerry many years. We got along very well and frequently went hunting and fishing together. He was a kind and decent man. I will miss him dearly.

I first met Jerry in 1964 when we went to Palmyra, N.Y. for a three weeks training for Garlock. But we really got to know Jerry & Joyce when Charlene & I and several others won a trip to Paris, France where we spent 8 days in 1974 and we all had a blast ! When we moved from Tulsa to Houston in 1976 Jerry was my boss and we all always RESPECTED Jerry because we knew he would always go to bat for us with the corporation. Jerry; you'll really be missed.

Some many great memories in knowing Jerry during my time working with him and after he retired. I know he enjoyed is cigars and his "sweet rob roy's with two cherrys" when he could have both. I will share one story (I have some many), it happened in 1979 and I was a young salesman making my sales calls about an hour and half away from his office so I used a public phone (before car phones, cell phones and pagers) to check for messages and was told that Mr. Bean wanted to talk to me. Oh my goodness what have I done or not done. Mr. Bean got on the line and said that he wanted to talk to me and wanted me at the office as fast as I could get there. I cancelled my appointments and drove directly to the office arriving about 10:30 AM to face what ever Mr. Bean had in store for me. I walked in the office and he stated "I am glad you're here, let's go to lunch so you can buy." I worked for Jerry until he retired but I will say he was one of a kind and he will be missed.
