Jerry always made it a point to send a congratulations card to me whenever I upgraded my license.
When Jerry knew he was getting near the end of his life, he called to tell me that he had a big box for me to pick up.
The big box turned out to be a very nice collection of his VHF gear and antennas. He wasn't sad about it; he actually seemed glad to see it go to someone who appreciated it and could make use it.
I'll never forget him or his generosity!
