I had the pleasure of working with Jerry for over 15 years.  He was as 
others have said a true gentleman, very placid in nature, an apparent 
contradiction with his accomplishments as a Tae-Kwon-Do instructor. He was an 
extremely able and conscientious engineer and was at the centre of the rapid 
expansion of aluminium production in the 80s and 90s.  His contribution to the 
building of the Cross Green Foundry was immense, and it is regrettable that what 
was one of the most advanced foundries in Europe no longer stands as a tribute 
to him.  My condolences to Martin and his family.  I hope to be present at his 
funeral next week to pay my respects.
