I've spoken to him several times over the past years and was such a resource and willing to help with anything. Seemed to be nothing but a positive person.

This is just such a loss, I met Jerry many years ago when he took time to help me understand the data system in my 996 Cup Car and I bought a bunch of AIM products over the years from him. He always took the time to stop by me in the paddock to see how I was doing.he was a Florida friend that was always available to answer questions or to offer advise, RIP my friend.

Damn - yet another of my early track hero's gone.
As others have noted, Jerry was quite accomplished but always seemed a regular guy.
Speedy travels, my friend. And thank you for the inspiration.

Like Matt Romanokski, I have known Jerry for over 30 years. We both had 84 Euro 911s in the Northeast region. We were always one upping each other with new goodies for each track event. When I moved to Tampa, I had the pleasure of seeing him frequently at the shop helping with either an AIM or data thing in the race cars. When I see you again Jerry, I hope you have been using the time to get your car ready as I will be gunning for you. RIP Jerry!
