I know that this message is a few years late. But I thought you would appreciate this message. As a young boy, I went to the Mike Andrews/Jerry Moses baseball camp. One day I left my sneakers at a pool where we went to swim together for the camp. I got back to the baseball camp and had to wear my cleats around for the next day because I lost my sneakers. Apparently the next day Jerry Moses drove all the way back to the pool, found my sneakers, and delivered them to me at camp. Thinking back upon this, this was something that he did not have to do. But he went out of his way to drive a good 45 minutes round-trip, to retrieve a young kid sneakers. I remember how kind he was a camp. He was a good man. I had to share the story. I´ve been telling it about Jerry Moses for many years. God bless all of his friends and family. He was a good man.

I worked for Gerry at his baseball camp he and Mike Andrews ran. Gerry was so sincere, kind and caring. He had a way of making those around him simply better. I feel blessed and thankful to have known him.

Dear Family, Gerry was most gracious to this old fan, answering my questions and sharing memories. I will always remember what he told me about that All Star Game collision, which he was quite nearby. A decent and kind man. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace with which to cherish Gerry's memory.

Thanks for being part of my childhood.

This kid from Newton would always go to Fenway and sit in the bleachers and watch the Sox...remember seeing you warm up the pitchers in the bullpen

You'll never be forgotten.

To the Gerald Moses Family, You have every right to be proud of Gerald. He was a great athlete and more importantly, a great person. I am a little over a year younger than Gerald and played ball with him. We all looked up to him. I thought he was the greatly baseball player to ever come from Yazoo City. He provided us with many memories watching him play, and for that I am eternally grateful. Thanks Gerald, and God Bless You.

We met him while signing autographs at Fenway Park several years ago. He was so excited to hear that we were from Madison, MS. We talked for several minutes and found out that Pam, his sister was our oldest child's 4th grade teacher! He left a lasting impression on us and our son in just those few minutes. May he Rest In Peace and we will be praying for his family.
