It saddens me that I was not able to get myself together enough, to come back and see my favorite teacher before he passed. Me. Waugh will forever remain my favorite teacher. I know he knows what an impact he left on my life, as he kept my seat vacant after my accident.

After my near fatal car accident I had while Jerry was my teacher, I was saddened that I had been unable to visit with him, before his passing. It is because of him I had wanted to become a teacher. Affects from the accident prevented that, but I will forever remember Mr. Waugh, my absolute favorite teacher of all times!

Your youthfulness, exuberance, kindness, and warmth will forever be burned into my memory. You have not only taught me to challenge myself, but you inspired me to love life and to try always to be a better person. I will always remember you for that. Rest in peace.

Waughdawg! I miss our lunches together with Janet and Sam, for these were the times where we truly discussed life: ours and inevitably, the students (even though we all agreed we needed to take a break from Mesa life during our private time, the conversation always seemed to include a student or two); I miss your candid sense of humor and honesty, your intelligence and counseling mentality. I miss your uncanny way of listening, sometimes just listening, kindly respectful that I really wasn't expecting feedback, but it was always welcome. I miss our meandering through your neighborhood as the unofficial 'Mayor of Arden Park,' witnessing the people flock out of their homes just to say hello to you. I miss attending concerts, ball games, movies, but what I miss most is your 'essence' because you were one of a kind. Rest in Peace my favorite friend.

I came as a substitute to Mesa Verde High School about 20 years ago. Gerry made me feel very comfortable. I later found out that we had both graduated in 1960, he from Sac High and I from Bishop Armstrong. We knew a lot of the same people. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.

My condolences to Mr. Waugh's family. He was an amazing man and a great friend. He could always bring a smile out of me even on some of my worse days. He always had time for me and never made me feel as if I was holding him back. I will miss him very much. Class of 89

Mr Waugh, there will never be a greater influential teacher than you! I am truly blessed to have had you my freshman year (1987), my senior year (1991), and reconnecting with you over these past 4yrs. You still took the time out to review my college essays and provided feedback. Thank you Lord, for putting someone in my life like Mr Waugh.

Me. Waugh I can remember when you first came to Mesa Verde. And then we were lucky enough to be in your class for the rest if our high school days. I so cherish those memories now. You were awesome. Such memories. The stories the friendship and guidance. I'm not sure if what you taught us in class or what you taught us about life was the most important. R.I.P. my dear friend

Mr. Waugh was one of the most gracious people I have ever known. I am truly blessed because not only did I get to experience how amazing he was as a teacher but also a friend. He was so incredible because he remembered all of us individually with a
story, true dedication! Rest in peace sweet friend and thank you!
