a Partner in 1974. While at Morgan Stanley he helped create an industry leading
back office infrastructure. Jerry also was very active in industry issues and was
a founding member of DTC (Depository Trust Company). Jerry also served as
Chairman of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) from 1984 to
1985. He retired from Morgan Stanley in 1991.

Jerry firmly believed that to whom much is given, much is expected. He lived by
these words and devoted time to various charities including the League Cen-
ter in Brooklyn, NY and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indian River County, FL. In
addition, he supported his Alma Mater, Hunter College of NY. Through various
donations he also funded educational opportunities for underserved individu-
als, as he believed that education is the foundation of all success. In addition,
he supported Indian River Medical Center (now part of Cleveland Clinic) and
personally funded a variety of research projects aimed at Parkinson’s disease.

Jerry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He
married his loving wife Karol on August 9th 1999. They shared 23 years togeth-
er spending time in Colorado, Florida, and New Jersey. Jerry enjoyed golfing
trips with his friends, family get-togethers, fly fishing, and skiing. An avid run-
ner, he completed 5 New York City marathons.

He loved the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees. He was a voracious
reader of historical non-fiction, with a special passion for World War II history
especially the life and writings of Winston Churchill.

A quiet yet observant man he led by example and instilled in his children the
value of a strong work ethic and the importance of a job well done. He took
great pride in his family and their life events and accomplishments.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife Karol, daughters Elizabeth Randolph (Brian),
Allison Hone (Andrew), Jocelyn Lynch (Patrick McCartney), sons Christopher
(Jeanne), Peter (Lisa), and Gerard (Stacy) Lynch, grandchildren Stephen Ba-
kos (Kristine), Caroline, Natalie and Grace Hone, Abigail Foley, Charles Lynch,
Vivian Lynch, great grandchildren Benjamin, Sebastian and Theodore Bakos.

Funeral arrangements are private. A Celebration of Life for Jerry will be held at
a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jerry’s memory can be made to the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Indian River County, 1729 17th Avenue, Vero Beach, FL

Beach, FL home.

Jean was born on October 10, 1945, in Washington, DC to William and Ann Jefferson and moved with them and
her older sister, Waverly, one year later to Atlanta, Georgia where she lived until leaving for Greenbrier Women’s
College in Lewisburg, West Virginia in 1963.

Between her freshman and sophomore year at a summer job in Zion National Park, she met the love of her life,
Ray, on his birthday. It turned out to be the best birthday present he ever received!

After graduation from Greenbrier, Jean went to the University of Georgia and later joined United Airlines as a
flight attendant based in Washington, DC. With Vietnam raging, Jean and Ray married in June 1967 prior to
Ray reporting to active duty in the US Army as a second lieutenant. Fortunately, Jean helped arrange a duty
assignment for Ray at the Pentagon where they made lifelong friends over those two amazing and eventful
years.

After the Army, Jean and Ray moved to Phoenix, AZ where they bought their first house and Jean became the
proud mother of two daughters: Kimberly Ann and Katherine Elizabeth.

Jean began her journey to multiple cities as the ultimate corporate wife when the couple next moved to Detroit,
MI. She had a fantastic gift as a home economics major in college to be able to design houses, decorate them,
make curtains, upholster furniture, paint walls, and hang wallpaper while also raising two daughters. She had a
unique ability to take on any project, figure it out, and then spearhead doing it.

Following her interest in cooking, Jean became an accomplished gourmet chef. Her dinner parties and holiday celebrations were legendary in the communities where they lived. Each
detail of decoration and cuisine was carefully thought out and perfectly prepared for her guests.

In Paris, Jean took cooking classes at the Ritz, La Varenne, and Le Cordon Bleu; and while living in Connecticut, she was featured in an Abby Mandel’s Cuisinart Classroom video.
At the Aspen Food and Wine Festival in 2000, she was teamed with Marcus Samuelsson, a celebrity chef, and won the timed Iron Chef Contest before a live television audience. She
loved Chinese food, and would take the train from New Canaan, CT to Chinatown for lessons from renowned Chinese cookbook author, Grace Zia Chu.

In addition to being an accomplished chef, Jean was also an avid sportswoman and talented athlete. She loved playing tennis and had a wicked forehand that terrorized even the
hardiest net man. After decades of playing tennis, Jean turned her attention to golf where she became a fearsome and successful competitor, especially when a tournament was on
the line.

Following retirement, Jean and Ray enjoyed spending time together at the home she designed, built, and beautifully decorated in Cordillera, CO near Vail. It had room for all their
children and grandchildren and many a memorable summer and winter vacation were spent there with them and guests skiing, biking, fishing, hiking, and golfing.

Jean was a committed volunteer wherever they lived serving at her daughters’ schools, the Junior Leagues in Birmingham, MI, Stamford/Norwalk, CT, and Kansas City; and the board
of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Indian River County. Her talent with handicrafts and design gave her the distinction of following Martha Stewart to chair the Stamford/Norwalk League’s
Christmas Store.

However, it was her family that gave Jean her greatest pride and joy. She loved her husband, Ray, her two daughters, her three grandchildren and would do anything for them. The
summer romance became a wonderful marriage of 55 years.

Jean enjoyed being around people (the more the better) and having fun, especially when dancing with Ray. She could talk to and make friends with anyone (and often did) and made
everybody around her feel welcome with her generous and gracious hospitality, her ready smile, and frequent laughter. No matter what life threw at her, she kept her quick wit and to
the end remained positive, caring, and kind. She lived life at full speed and never gave up!

She is survived by her husband, Ray, her daughters, Kimberly, and Kathy, and her three grandchildren: Raymond Toole, Davis Toole, and Kailee Webster, and is predeceased by her
parents and older sister, Waverly.

A reception to commemorate Jean’s life will be held in the fall in Vero Beach. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Learning Alliance in Jean’s name and honor.
