Dear family,

My deepest condolences for your loss. I know Gerry from the FRBNY and I typed countless of his correspondence. So sad to learn of his passing due to alzheimers, I am honored to have worked and learned so much from his brilliant mind.

Dear Karen and Gerry,
I am so sorry for your terrible loss. You dad was a legend in finance and will be missed. We made a donation to the Alzheimer's Assn in Boston in his honor as well. My father in law also suffered w this terrible disease as well so hopefully one day there will be a cure. Thinking of you both. Warmly,

Dear Cathy,
Carole and I wish you our sincere condolences on Jerry's passing. Anyone that got near to Jerry was overwhelmed by his energy, his knowledge, and his leadership. I cherish the memories of his time at the New York Fed. Our prayers are with you and your family, and we ask God to bless Jerry and lead him to eternal peace.
Fondly,
Peter Fullen

I knew Jerry from my days at Chase Manhattan. He was a leader and one of the finest central bankers in our history. He will be missed.
