    Jerry was a true gentleman and friend. He mentored me when I began my career at Hasbro. He always had a smile and kind advice. We worked many Toy Fairs together. My prayers are with him and all of you! God Bless!

    Ron and I are sending our sincere condolences to the Einhorn family. Jerry was an amazing person and we both learned so much from him during our years at Hasbro. My mom, Gert Gagnon, was a Hasbro employee but remembers Steve Einhorn, and said that he was so good to her and her co-workers at Hasbro. Thank you to the Einhorn family. May Jerry rest in peace.
