It´s been 13 years . My love has never waivered and never will. You were my world . We haven´t allowed your memory to fade. We talk about you often , remember all you taught us and continued to share the traditions of your favorite time of year. I may have succeeded you in shopping and cherish all of those special times we shared , even the `secret trips´ to find just the perfect item. You have left us with a lifetime of memories , a solid foundation of standards to live up to and most importantly love . We listened to each and every lesson you taught us. I was truly blessed to have you as my father and the girls as their Da. You are loved and missed every single day and will be as long as I live.
Love Always Helen Veronica

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.
I love and miss you so much Dad.
Love Ann Marie

Dearest Diane, Helen, Annmarie and Kathleen, Grand Children-The empty feeling will last for a long time. Jerry was my best friend, my sounding wall, my rock, the family's rock. He was there to keep us close, his heart was open and bigger than life. We share so meny days of happiness. He is in our hearts, our prayers, our memories, and this will help fill the empty feeling we are all experiencing. We love and will not ever forget you, Your brother misses you, and can't beleive you are not here. His tears are slowing drying, but his heart is full of pain. He knows your in God's arms and at peace.
Diane, stay strong, Annmarie,Helen, Kathleen, Your dad is looking down on you and he always did.
Love Uncle Jackie and Brenda

To my husband, love of my life, just a week ago tonight you were right here with us at home. I did not want you to suffer but wanted so much to have more time with you. You were larger than life in every way and loved greatly for that but it is all the small things I miss. We enjoyed countless small pleasures in our every day lives; I don't know how to go on. My heart has been ripped out and nothing can fill the void. I will cherish and honor your memory in every way I can but will truly be lost without you by my side. 'Til we meet again, your loving wife, Diane

I know Jerry's in a better place with wonderful people (Richard Falcon)... I can only image what St. Pete must be going through. Clean this, fix that, no that's not how we do things around here. Because of Jerry's knowledge and intellect I've learned so much. When you were called into his office most people would shiffer. 9 out of 10 times he was teaching and advising you of his own experiences. Everytime I intereacted with Jerry I learned and listened how to be a man, professional and respectful.
Without Jerry at the helm it's going to difficult but he's paved the way for all of us to follow. He will truely me missed by all.
My thoughts and prays are with you and your family.

I have worked with jerry for 24 years at Boston University. He was a great leader for the union, and a great leader for BU. He helped so many workers and their families, over his 36 years at BU. He will be missed and remembered by so many of us. We all share your loss

Diane,
It with great sadness I write this..Only by chance I heard of the sudden loss of Jerry. He was such a great guy. He had always treated me with the upmost respect and always took the time to say, Hi. He will be missed. All who knew him know of what a great person he was. He loved you and all of his kids.
God Bless

Diane - While Gerry will not be with us, his spirit will. I know you have the support of many and that your strength will get you through this challenging time. It is faith and family that helped us find a way to continue on without our dad. May I offer you the same wisdom my dad offered us before his departure - "do what is important and make what you do count." I believe that Gerry would agree. He will live on in all the lessons and teaching he provided family and friends. May you find peace in his return to glory. God Bless.

God saw he was getting tired And a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him And whispered, "Come with Me" With tearful eyes we watched him suffer And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Diane and Family,
We were so saddened and shocked to hear of your loss...we were pulling-and praying for Jerry. Although there is very little one can say or do to bring comfort to you- I did find peace after my dad died knowing that he could finally breathe again-without worrying about oxygen, tubes, lung failure, hospitals etc. We are thinking of you during this difficult tme.

Jerry,
Although I did not know you for long, I will cherish our friendship forever. The most wonderful gift that you can give someone is a happy memory and you have given me many. You were the corner stone of your family and friends and have left us all with a wonderful legacy.
You are one of the last of a breed of men that we may never experience again. Your devotion, love, humor and honor to your family and friends were unmatched. You were a honorable and respected stand up guy. You will be sorely missed.
Elvis Presley once said;
"When I leave here, I want everyone to know that I gave them all I had"
My friend, you did.
God Bless
Your friend,

Diane, Helen, Kathleen and Ann Marie,
I am so sorry. Words cannot express how sorry I am. Your father was and always will be in my heart. He was there for us through my mother's illness and death, my father's illness and death. Without him I do not know what we would have done. He remained strong always...he will be truly missed by many, many people.
Love,

Words alone can not express my sorrow at your passing; my heart goes out to Diane, Helen, Ann Marie and Kathleen. You were a rock for this family when it needed you most, especially when my Father died too young, you were there for us, as well as Pa and Nana and stayed strong for everyone. I have only fond memories of when we worked together at BU and you would invite me into your office to talk, and I learned some invaluable lessons from you, as well as some family history I carry with me to this day. May all the family greet you as you enter heaven, and say hello to everyone for me.
Love your Nephew,
Stephen

Uncle Jerry,
God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
We love and Miss you,
The Wall's in Carver

Dad I can not believe your gone. I am lost without you. Why did this happen? How is this fair? How do I go on? I love you more than you will ever know. You are the best father anyone could ever ask for. Words can never be enough for how much I will miss you! I love you now and forever, my heart is broken and can never be fixed. I miss you, I love you, I pray your at peace. Ann Marie
