Jerry Martin will be missed by all
Alternate Assistant to the President-Yardmasters Jerry D. Martin passed away following a brief illness.

Delegates at the 1999 UTU convention elected Jerry to the office of alternate assistant to the president-yardmasters.

In the early morning hours of March 14, 2001, Jerry made his final call.

The UTU lost an officer dedicated to the betterment of, and service to, our membership.

Jerry loved people and loved to have fun, but he was serious in his concern for the welfare of the members.

He never met a person with a problem that he did not want to help.

He always had a funny story to tell to cheer you up when you were down.

The ability to laugh at himself and be the focus of his own humor showed strength of character and self-confidence rarely seen today.

Those of us who worked closely with Jerry through the years lost a loyal friend for whom there will be no replacement.

More than 20 years of his life were spent as a union representative. Jerry was a person I was proud to call friend.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Catherine, Chris and their family in this time of great loss.
