It's hard to believe that its been ten years since the gemstone world lost a great man. Every time I log into JTV I miss the way it used to be and seeing Jerry's smiling face and energetic passion about gemstones. I still have the letter he sent with a Tanzanite I bought. May God bless and continue to watch over his family and the legacy he left behind. God bless everyone.

Learned so much about gemstones from Mr Sisk. He was great with the JTV viewers and his walk on specials. Still miss him today. He will always be remembered.

Jerry, I never met you, but you were always a welcomed guest in my living room while watching JTV...What you built, and how you built it is a monument to you whose ethics and values spoke in volumes through your tireless work. You will be missed in many circles. My deepest sympathy to your close and extended family.

I have followed Jerry since he and bob were first on ACN in front of a black curtain. Spoke to Jerry and truly enjoyed him as well as his knowledge. There will be a big empty spot here and a bright sparkly spot in heaven. Condolences to his family and friends.

It is obvious to all of us who love JTV that Jerry Sisk was essential to this great channel. Thank you Jerry for your passion, hard work, and drive to get the rest of us engaged with an interest in gems. You did a magnificent job and it is very apparent you were much loved. May you rest in God's peace.

Darn it Jerry! I had hoped to attend the next time y'all had classes and wanted to meet you and all the JTV staff and hosts. I had planned a specail greeting, just for you. "pleasure to meet you Mr. Sisk, you're the man with rocks in his head!" Now, after many years of JTV watching, I have gems, jewelry and rocks everywhere too. Thank you for your enthusiasm, caring and joy. You are missed already.
