I just found this obituary and learned of my man Mr. Yeager's passing.  We both shared an affinity for bird watching and cleanliness.  He allowed me to set up a bird bath at our store.  And it is obvious how important cleanliness is as we have witnessed in this pandemic. 

I remember when I worked as a "co" with Jerry at store 1776.  We were so close that they called me Jerry's twin.

I count Jerry Yeager among my greatest influences as a manager and life coach and was saddened to learn of his passing. He was always quick with a quip and clearly was concerned with making me my best when he supervised me at ACME. My first winter there (I retrieved carriages), he told me where I could pick up a gray puffy jacket in my size to keep warm (It was big and tall). All these years later, I still wear it. Even when I moved on from ACME to AMC, every day I put on that jacket, I'd think of Jerry Yeager.  Thanks Jerry, rest in peace. (Hi Denny!)

Jerry Yeager always told me I didn't listen.  "Michael Higgins doesn't listen" he would say. "That Michael Higgins is a nice boy, but he doesn't listen." He also admonished me for not knowing the proper way to mop up spillages, saying it was obvious I had never been in the service.

I was 14 at the time.

Thanks for the memories Jerry!

I was thinking about my friend Jerry and had not heard from him in a while. I found this obituary and learned of his passing. I have only known him for a couple of years, but he was one of my favorite patients and will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a kind, gentle, and sweet man who loved life and was grateful for his "wonderful" family, who were always there for him.  
Thoughts and prayers to you all.
Until we meet again my friend. 


What a great memory that I have of visiting with the Yeager family in Roslyn during the summer!  I was an only girl with five brothers so I was sent by Greyhound bus from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia several different summers to visit with my girl cousins.  Jerry was my cousin but was closer to my father in age, mannerisms and looks.  Oh what fun we had!  He will be sorely missed, as was Mary Jo.
