Hi Kitty:
I heard the news of the loss of your husband and my prayers are flowing your way. While working at the base, you shared many stories of your husband and the love the two of you shared was clearly evident. Focus on those wonderful moments and God will lift you and your family.

Dear Kitty and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. Having been one of three Malinowski's that Jerry employed I certainly can attest to the fact that Jerry had the patience of a saint with all of the neighborhood kids. I have such fond memories of Jerry's sense of humor and the tremendous kindness he showed to all of us in the neighborhood. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Lozoff family,
I was one of the kids that used to hang around on the steps at the corner of Kent and North Allen. It was a wonderful time of life when kids were kids and kind men like Jerry didn't mind that we were there. I still remember the Royal Palm grape soda. What a wonderful time and again a wonderful man. Peace to all of you and I'm sorry for your loss.

I was very sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I grew up next door to Lozoff's Pharmacy, my mother Lucy Van Bergen worked at the pharmacy for a number of years. Having been a crazy teenager, Jerry befriended me at a time when I really needed a friend. Always a gentleman who came to my aid many times. I will always have fond memories of him.
