Is there a non-Facebook link? Facebook is blocked at my work.

There is no easy way to say this, and certainly no easy way to hear it. I am writing this on the evening of August 7th, 2018. Jerry died last night.

He's been in poor health, but this wasn't expected and Dani is coping with all of the things that need to be done. I told her that I would announce it to his friends and colleagues on Facebook, since she doesn't use social media.

I've been using the things he taught me a lot this summer, with some challenging personal and professional situations. I'm so glad I managed to tell him that while he could still hear it.

Knowing him made me a better person. His life goal was to empower Smart People to Be Happy. He succeeded.

Requiescat in pace, Jerry.
