Gerry and I went to St. Madeline Catholic school in Ridley Park in the 40's. He was a good student and pretty cute. Our class was broken up when in high-school the boys were in one class and girls another,so many of us lost touch. But Gerry was one of the smartest ( and cutest) in St. Madeline School, and it's good to see he went on to a good career in his life.

Pam, Megan, Allison and Family,
I was so very sorry to learn of the passing of Mr. Spitz. He was the first legislator I worked for at the Capitol when I was only eighteen years old. He was so kind to me and such a gentleman. He was so very well respected. We stayed in touch over the years and i was so honored to have him as a friend. I am so very sorry for your loss and please know my prayers are with you all.

It was my pleasure to have served with Gerry in Harrisburg. He was truly a statesman and a gentleman in every sense of the word. His service to the Commonwealth was notable. My sincere condolences to his family.

I was very saddened to learn of Judge Spitz's passing. I have had the true privilege of practicing before Judge Spitz for the past 15 years. And though I did not agree with each and every one of his decisions, I can say - without exception - he treated every one of my clients with real dignity and respect. I thought he was a very fair judge; and more importantly, a gentleman. He will be missed.
