Thanks for posting. Sorry to lose another "old guard" corvette guy. He certainly made a huge contribution to all of us in the the corvette world. And he saw a lot of changes in the business world during his career. No computers, cell phones and only antiquated office equipment when he started. RIP.

I didn't realize Jerry was 79, I was sure he was 6 or 7 years younger.
I use to see Jerry and Beverly at all the Corvette shows, but as the business grew they let others (including their son Scott) handle the shows. The last time I saw him was at the Old Town NCRS Winter Regional 10 years ago, when he was there to just hang around and to get away from the Michigan cold for a few days in the winter.
RIP Jerry
