Charles Gerald "Jerry" Schlichter

Old memories surged when I read Jerry's obituary,. Jerry was "one of the gang" in our early years in Elizabeth, NJ along with Bob Able, Don Van Riper, Don Harsell, Morris Rubin, "Bub" Frey,and others. He was also very well thought of by my parents, so much so that when Mother baked a pie for our family she always baked an extra pie or two "for the boys!" Jerry lived with his grandfather at that time and "lived" for the times he could borrow his grandfather's car to cruise around town. He...

I consider Jerry a very good friend of mine. He was a very thoughtful and kind person. We had some good times together at the Rutgers football and basketball games. He will be greatly missed.

Dear John and Tom,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have to say that Jerry was one heck of a fellow, he and my father Bump Hanley always kept in touch with each other. Talking about their time flying for Capital, United. I remember taking Dad to the RUPA luncheons in Montclair and after Dad's death I'd go and meet Jerry. We had such wonderful conversations on the phone many of times. May peace be with him and also with you.
