I worked with Jerry for many years and a finer fellow or a better friend you could not find anywhere. We first worked together in 1971 in Nederland, Tx. Jerry taught me a great deal and helped me to learn the tank building business and to suffer through the heat and be able to satisifty Barney Marshall. I fell that I have lost a great friend and teacher and my deepest symphaty goes out to his family. Sincerely, Maurice " Gene " Riggleman

Jerry was the Weld & QC supervisor on the first job I worked in 1979. He taught me a lot about how to work without getting hurt and lots of other things. He was a genuinely good guy and I consider it an honor to have known him.
