I always feel a loss when someone from my Chatsworth past passes. For some reason the passing of Jerry leaves a larger empty spot for me. His trusting and good nature is in many ways an inspiration that we can easily forget as we take our walk through life. Thank you Jerry!

Jerry and I worked together at Dick's Supermarket. He was a good soul, something of a Chatsworth institution, and a will certainly be missed.

So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. The Ortman family and the Tauber's were friends for many years. Chatsworth hasn't been the same since Jerry moved away. Thank you for taking such good care of your family.

So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I remember him well. Betty was our babysitter at one time and I remember spending quite a bit of time with your family when I was young. I remember Buster, your Dad and your dear sweet mother. Jerry sort of looked out for my Sis and myself and eventually my daughter. He would carry my groceries home for me and was always friendly. My sympathy is with you and your family.

So sorry to hear Jerry passed. He was always a happy person. I don't think there was a person in Chatsworth during the 50's that didn't know jerry. You have my deepest sympthay.
