Not known for class cars. Still a dominant figure and probably the most prolific shop in the country. Plenty of other shops use his components as well..

RIP

Godspeed old friend. I’m sort of beside myself and don’t know what else to say, other than Jerry was always generous with knowledge. I’ll certainly miss our conversations…

I too hated to hear this. He seemed like a real genuine person that loved racing and really took care of each customer individually. It was a privilege to meet a top-tiered chassis builder. One of the "Greats" in the likes of Haas, Don Ness etc....

I remember the last time I was in his office we were talking about the Coca-Cola bottle machine sitting there that he had just restored. He would talk to you like he knew you for ten years in person or on the phone.

RIP My Friend.
