Message to the Family: We are honored to provide this Book of Memories to the family.

Message to the Family: This is a tribute to Jerry Emer from his beloved literary Humanities Group. Jerry was our facilitator for more than 6 years, weekly. We love him and give him our gratitude. Jerry loved the field of mathematics. Yes, like E=mc2. For Jerry, E stands for excellence, M for manhood and C for conscientiousness When anyone had a birthday in our group, Jerry would go to the blackboard and write an equation (in base 2 or base 10) to guess the actual date of the birthday! When numbers were used in our literature, Jerry would recheck them! We averaged about 15 people each week. We studied short stories and literature. Jerry was so diligent. He would spend hours each week preparing background research for our readings. Chicago weather would not prevent him from coming to every session! Jerry was an extremely humble and gracious guy. He always respected everyone's opinion and would often give his time to others and go last. Yet, Jerry is first, first in all our hearts... On behalf of the Humanities Group, Bill Schwartz

Message to the Family: Jerry was a great person and mentor to many in not only accounting but in life. His children and grandchildren should be very proud of Jerry.
