My heart and prayers go out to the entire Richards Family. I met Jerry, Lily, and the kids when we got involved with Habitat for Humanity in 1991 and subsequently became neighbors. Jerry truly was a very warm, intelligent, humorous, and kind man...no matter what he wanted you to think!! LOL!
Though it may not be appropriate to mention here, I know Jerry and Lily shared many years of deep love and devotion to each other and to their children. I pray that that love can help this...

Jerry was a great influence on everybody around him. He was not only a good supervisor but a great person. Honest, caring, hard working. You will be deeply missed bud.

Although I was often testing Jerry's nerves when I worked at alorica, I will always miss him. I remember specfically the times when Jerry would invite me to his family functions because my family is so far away, although I declined often, this simple measure would make me feel more at home and make me feel like I had family right here.
Jerry was more than my supervisor to me. Like it or not, he forced me to become more adult and move on to become a more successful person....

Jerry was the type of person you could respect in so many ways. He was quiet, strong, kind, etc. He was the type of person you could talk to about anything and know you could trust him. He will be greatly missed by me and a lot of other people who's lives he touched.
