Not sure what to say?

I have fond memories of Mr. Rees. I worked under him at WCC back in the 60's when WCC was in its infancy. I shared my time with him and Mr. Griswald (Chemistry instructor). I have fond memories of both gentlemen. Without them, I never would have gotten through organic chemistry. Mr. Rees was a fine educator.

Gerry's career at WCC was an example to all of us...his dedication to the school and its students...without bounds...and, a real Democrat, too....

I worked with Jerry on different projects connected with the Intercooperative Council at U-M. Jerry was an exemplar of the Greatest generation--hard-working, reliable, didn't make a fuss, wasn't looking for praise. He was involved in so many good causes, and I'm glad the U-M coops--affordable living, progressive, communal--was one of them. I hope his family finds comfort in the good he did,

Sorry

Dear Family I am very sorry for your loss. Please pray to God during this very difficult time and he will provide you with comfort and the strength to endure.

What a wonderful person and what a giving if not profound life. A rare, quiet and humble person who will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to the family at this time.
