Muy triste la noticia del fallecimiento de Jerry. Esa amistad que hicimos durante los últimos años de colegio, en el Colegio Americano de Quito, fue muy cálida, sincera y tan fuerte que hasta el día de hoy la mantenemos en lo más profundo de nuestro sentimiento. Recordaremos siempre el retrato que pintaste a Harry Belafonte y tu inmensa obra que fue tan colorida como tu carácter y tu sentimiento.

Jerry had a tremendous impact on me as an artist. Taught me so many things that I still employ to this day in my art making practice. RIP Jerry, condolences to his family and friends

I first met Jerry in 1969 at KU in the Art Department. Through all the years, he was positive and kind, greeting me and others with true joy. I will miss him along with so very many people around the world. Dean and Anita, I offer you my condolences.

Growing up with Dean, it was always with pleasure and a laugh that I got to see Jerry. I can't think of a single time that being around him I was not happy.
