Sue & Boys, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Although I knew Jerry professionally through TD we most often spoke about the boys art work hanging in his office or how they were doing in little league. He was a proud Father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Sue, Boys, Jerry's Family-
I worked with Jerry for 9 months in the TD branch. I think the excerpt from the email I sent on my last day says it best- "today will be a bit sad as it will be my last working for the most wonderful, positive energy, and mentoring manager I have had in 16 years in the business." Jerry will forever be the bar by which others are measured both professionally and personally. I still remember how Coal, my Labrador would make his morning trips down the hall to Jerry's office to say good morning before he was picked up for doggie daycare. Yes, Jerry was that manager that let my dog come to work too. I am so sorry for your loss, there aren't words to express the sadness I feel for you during this difficult time. My heart is with you-
Sincerely,
Nicole Andersen

Dear House Family,
I was a good friend of Jerry's back in the North Street School in Tewksbury. He came over my house to play many times and we were good friends in school. I have not been in touch with him since we were kids, but I remember him well, and was sad to hear of his passing. I do remember him being very kind and a real comfortable kid to be around. I can see from reading comments from others that he carried this into his adult life. I wish we had stayed in touch. I just thought I would let his family know that Jerry stood out in my childhood memories as a special friend who left an impression even 35 years later.

House family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I've known Jerry for a few years since he helped to hire me at TD Waterhouse/Ameritrade. He was always an inspiration to me as he seemed to have such balance in his life even as he battled his illness. I will miss him, and my thoughts and prayers go to you and your family.

I knew Jerry through TD Ameritrade. While our paths did not cross frequently, know that every time we spoke he always talked very lovingly about his family. When my wife was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, Jerry always took the time to reach out and ask how things were going despite his own battle - this for me, summed up Jerry and his character. I looked up to Jerry as he was always firm in his convictions and extremely honest and approachable. He will truly be missed by his TD Ameritade family and ours. My family's thoughts and prayers are with yours in this difficult time.
With sympathy,
Matthew & Christine Alpert

Dear Suzanne,
I've never met Jerry but I have known you since we were both in grade school. Your sister Trish, myself and you were inseperable for a long time. I ran into you recently at BJ's and you briefly told me of your husband's illness. I drive by your street often and think about how you, he and your boys are doing. I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sue, Ben, Tommy, John and Sandy,
All of us at the Salz household are full of tears at this most unexpected and sad news. Jerry was such a great coach and so patient with all the little kids whose minds were often elsewhere ; ) If a year's worth of
bowling, dog walks and brownies will help, you've got them.
You are all in our prayers,
Martha, Rich, Brady, Carter & Ronan
