It is with much sadness that I learn of Jerry's passing. When I moved into Morton Grove Jerry and his family were part of the families we became friendly with, his kids and my kids grew up together and attended the same schools. Jerry was a unique individual. He was the type of individual who was easy to talk to and became a good friend over the years.
He was a creative individual through his business and over the years he provided some wonderful creative artwork for me in my advertising business. My entire family extends our sympathy to the Lehrfeld family during this stressful period. May his memory be a blessing for ever and may he rest in peace.
