Not sure what to say?

We were deeply saddened to hear about Jerry's passing. Our memories of wonderful days and nights with Jerry and Margo are part of our treasured past. The laughs we shared in their homes in Mamaroneck and NYC - our many vacations in Cape May and the special times at our home in Copake mean so much to us. Thank you for letting us be a part of your beautiful family. Rest in peace, Jerry.

Dear Jerry, who Margo brought into our lives when I was 10 yrs old-- He was a source of comfort, strength and support when I so needed it, so many times in my life. His intelligence, humor and sense of mischievous fun ran like a river through all the years of my youth and young adulthood. I remember riding in his white (was a 1962 model?) Plymouth Valiant in the Village, me, Margo and Jerry, shooting at pedestrians with water guns, stopping at White Castle for hamburgers, laughing our heads...

We want to extend our deepest sympathy to our neice and nephews on losing your father and to Margo. We have so many wonderful memories of the times spent with Jerry and Margo and all our children growing up. Their home in Mamaroneck was always full of cousins of all ages when we visited from Calif. It was a good time and our memories of Jerry will always be happy ones.

Jerry was our brother-in-law, but was so much more than that.He was more like the brother we never had and always wanted. We have so many memories of Margo,Chris,Jason and Sabrina in their place in the city and especially in Mamaroneck. He and Margo were the best host and hostess and we spent as much time eating as we did spending time around the pool,eating of course and having lively conversations about anything and everything. We were a family ..... loud, opinionated, funny,inquisitive,...

So sad to hear about Jerry's passing. He and Margo lived a life that most people only dream about. The travel, the pool parties, the best food, best conversation, endless champagne, drums in the music room, all done with their great style. Our sympathies to Margo and their fabulous children. Rest in peace, Jerry and thanks for the memories. The Cardozos

I had the pleasure of working with Jerry on many Pinnacle Health System projects. I will always appreciate the time he took to explain and teach along the way. I will miss him.

Gerry and I and Tony Mansueto spent many years/nights/days in the most arduous of adventures--in Saudi Arabia, in Sao Paulo, at 2 Park Ave..I am truly saddened to hear of his passing away and would have enjoyed knowing more of his later life in Penna. Ann and I, literally, just returned from the Harrisburg area from a visit to a Granddaughter, a student at Penn State Medical School in Hershey..Go in Peace Gerry--it was a great time of my life with MBM and in Doha where you and I lost a jeep...

Jerry was one of a kind. It was a privelege and an honor to have known him, spend time with him and call him a friend - one of life's blessings!
