Thinking of Jerry always makes me smile. He was so quick with a joke, or his genuine handshake and greeting. He was my father's, John Grauer, best friend . They worked at Sherwin Williams together and Jer gave such charming toast at Dad's retirement dinner.
I have many cute and clever stories about Jerry. He would always fill his coffee cup too full and you could track his progress around the paint store by the drops of coffee on the floor. All his life when dad would spill coffee he would laugh and say , " Jerry Herbst must have been here.". and we'd laugh. I'm proud to say I continue the tradition, LOL.
Jean and Jerry were so wonderful to me as a child, such perfect role models.Jerrys determination and sense of humor throughout his life, well after I moved away from joliet, always inspired and gave me a good example to follow. I wrote to him when he got his MBA and tried to express to him how exceptional I had always thought he and Jean were and what a good influence they had had on a young girls life. He wrote me back and was so incourageing . we began to exchange a few letters a year for a while and then bth our lives got in e way, and we switched to phone calls . After Dad moved in with us he loved to hear from them. It was his favorit letter to recieve and he would alwas share them with me.
I carried those examples of care, concern, and humor throughout my life, keep them in my pocket, if you will. I am happy to have known him and will always consider Jean and Jerry much more than friends. my most heartfelt condolences to Jeannie and their children. Let Jerry's wonderful sense of humour help to heal your broken hearts.
