Not sure what to say?

I mourn Jerry's passing. I got to know him when we both worked out at a gym in east Sacramento during the early afternoons. We'd talk about our teaching experiences, growing up in the Midwest, and the dynamic of aging.

My condolences to Graham and his family.

My sincere condolences to Deborah and his family. Jerry extended a warm welcome to me when I joined the faculty at McGeorge in 2008 and was a supportive colleague and friend throughout my time there (2008-2014). His wry sense of humor, genuine interest and curiosity, respect and passion for his students were valued and appreciated. RIP. Paul Paton (Dean of Law at UAlberta, 2014-19)

I used to be his landscape maintenance provider for many years. He was such a nice and caring man, always talked about his wife and son. RIP Jerry! See you on the other side
