Hello to Jerry's family and friends. I am being thankful for having known Jerry just a little bit. Jerry's impact continues to be treasured in my heart. Lots of love to all. Louise Christensen Zak

Oh how I miss my great grandpa! Love you forever and always! I think of you often...

Jerry was an institution, a national treasure. I was privileged to have met him. I live only a short distance away and loved just driving past his place to see what was on display. One memorable day twelve years ago, he paid me a supreme compliment: "This lady really knows her plants!" as I went around complimenting him on his selections. A true Plantsman with a great legacy. I'm thankful to have known him a little. My condolences to his family. Louise Christensen Zak

How I will miss my friend Jerry. He used to come to tamale parties at my home at Christmas time. One year he asked to take home the corn husks and in a couple of weeks he sent me a picture of a tree decorated with angel ornaments made from the corn husks! I think he loved angels. I once asked him if he believed in aliens and he answered "Well - angels might be aliens". He was a unique and beautiful person.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Munro family. We have known Jerry for a very long time and appreciated all the help he has given us with plants and landscaping, especially since we had no idea of gardening. He was just a Wonderful person and loved by all who met him. His memory will always be cherished by us and the great son he has in Bill.

Prayers and love to all.

Jerry was a wonderful man to know and was an interesting source of history and ordinary facts about the region and his knowledge of plants and growing things was phenomenal.

He was the best Grandfather, an amazing boss, and like a second father to me; I'm full of memories of him but can't imagine the world without him.

Jerry was one of the great characters of the industry and was a favorite to have regularly through the nursery. His personality and love for plants will be missed.

We are very sad to hear of Jerry's passing. Nobody, we deal with was quite like him. From loading his own 15gal Palm trees at 85, to pointing to what he wants from the car, toward the end. He was always a joy to see and an inspiration. Showing the value of living every day to the fullest. We will miss him.
