I knew you for 37 years and over that time you were always thoughtful and generous to me. I liked our discussions over vitamins and my other herbal remedies although you never convinced me to give them up. And politics, because I always learned more. My many times at your home from LB to Skamania were always filled with interesting conversations and I always felt sparked, engaged, and alive. I left knowing I was cared about and loyal to your family. Your family has been a major part in my life and my mothers. We have been accepted and welcomed. I am so glad you stopped here on the way up this summer because once more I felt the Manheim connection and warmth. You married well Jerry and created quite a notable family, a successful life. Living seems to be also about learning to let go of the past but those days around the dinner table filled with activity and conversation will always be my treasure with your voice imbedded in my memory. Thank you.

Barb & I are so sad to lose such a good friend. Jerry was learned, talented, kind, generous, and always full of the old nick. A complete human, a mensch. We always looked forward to "Jeritos" in Skamania!
We will miss him dearly and remember him always. Our sincerest condolences to Sylvia and family.
Love, Josh & Barb Reese
