I grew up in South Orange and was fortunate to work for Gerry in High School and College. Gerry was the consummate business man. He taught myself and coworkers how to act in a professional manner when helping customers. These skills helped me tremendously as I worked in Banking in New Jersey and New York for forty one years. Gerry blended business skills with energy,communication skills with a warmth that was seen by customers and workers. Gerry was the first manager I knew to
say “the customer is always right” , decades before it became a common catch phrase. Gerry required us to work hard but some how humor was part of our daily routine.
My coworkers and I still get together and recall our time working for Gerry. How lucky for us to have those experiences and memories.
Thank you Gerry for every thing you did for us.
