Jerry Lipscomb

[Alan Grinberg]

So Sorry to hear. He was a really nice guy.
I remember the Omnis Underground and the Denver conferences well.

I do believe he was at the 2019 conference. “On the way back to Omnis”

The move was my first time living away from friends and family.  Jerry and Chris  took me under their wing and helped me to adjust to my new home.  He became a big brother to me.

It was great to watch him in action. His energy was infectious.  If anyone could give Steve Jobs a run for the money it was him.
