When I heard the news this morning, I was deeply saddened. It's always been such wonderful fun knowing Jerry, joking around with him at the museum and hearing him say "Here comes trouble", I've appreciated his views, and always looked forward to the next time we'd run into each other. I'll miss him. I hope it helps you to know how fondly and how warmly he will always be remembered by so many people.

Jane--What a shock. We will always remember him and his car "Agnes" (named after 1 of my aunts). The car had only 1 eye (headlight). He will always be in our prayers as will you. May Massy rest in peace.
