My deepest condolences to the entire family. Although I had the opportunity to care for Mr Jerry only for a short time, I will always remember their kindness and strength. May you find comfort in the memories shared and in the love that surrounds you.

Mickey and I are truly saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. We have many fond memories of our time together back in the day. Our love and prayers to you Lea, your girls, and family.

One of the best has left us. He was very special to so many. My sincere sympathy to Lea and family.

A great leader, wonderful friend and mentor. You will be missed.

A true gentleman and a wonderful man to play golf with at the oaks a true competitor always enjoyed playing with Arthur Eric Rod and Barry

Dear Lea and family: Please accept our deepest sympathy for your great loss. I have known Jerry since grade school, as we lived in the same neighborhood, and hung around together as kids. Gerry has known him since we got married. We have both know Jerry and Lea for over 50 years. Jerry’s passing is such a great loss to so many! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time.

General Janelle was the Commandant of the New Hampshire Military Academy when I enlisted in the NH Army National Guard in 1983. He was always professional and had a great smile. Was a positive influence to my military career. His military career was very impressive.
My thoughts and prayers are sent to you.
God Bless.

Rest in peace, Gerry.
