Not sure what to say?

Jerry was the best neighbor, always waving hello. You would always see Jerry working in his yard, cutting his grass or plowing his driveway. We will miss you Jerry. May they have the most challenging golf courses in heaven for you! Scott & Cindy - across the street!

Gerry will be missed. A wonderful person.

Murph always had a story to tell. He and was a good friend and we shared the good and bad times of the Sox and the Giants. I will not forget the years of running and walking together. My condolences to the family

Jerry, I will miss your kind smile and thoughtful wave you gave me multiple times a day when I passed by your house, it was such a nice way to start my day. And thx for putting up with my baking. ;)
You will be missed! Thoughts and prayers to the family.

I am saddened by the passing of Gerry. He was such a great person, co worker and most of all opponent. I will always remember the matches of the Friday night league at Tunxis followed by Tavern on the Green. I know he has a preferred tee time in heaven. God bless you and thanks for being a great friend. Remember the greens are true in heaven.

I'm sorry that distance prevents me from visiting but my thoughts and prayers are with Jerry's family at this sad and shocking time. I worked with Jerry pretty much from his first few days at the HIG until we all left. I hadn't seen him for a few years but we kept in touch. I know he will be sorely missed. With deepest sympathy!

Jerry was such a sweetheart! I enjoyed working with him at the HIG. We shared the same graduation year, and all the history that came with the late 60's. He was such a kind soul.

To my dear brother-in-law:
Playing golf with you at SFGC two weeks ago wasn't either of our best rounds, but seeing you able to walk pain free after the knee surgery was so positive. Little did I know . . . I am still in shock at this turn of events.
Beth's dying request of you was to help look after our mom, especially with me living so far away. You passed the test with flying colors and set the bar way high. Not many son-in-laws would call their mother-in-law each night at 8 p.m....
