Gerald Small

Jerry was my friend. Jerry was all goodness and generosity. May his memory be for a blessing.

Jerry and I are cousins. we were born 42 days apart at Harper Hospital in Detroit. From the time when we were about 3, until January 25, we spoke regularly, visited often, for 85 years. We laughed a lot. I will miss him.

My dear friend, you will be dearly missed and I had so much fun with our friendship for 35 years back in Los Angeles and here in Albuquerque. We had a great time together, going on trips in our beautiful State of New Mexico, I will always love you...your friend James.

My cousin Gerry was the same age as my mother and they grew up together even though she lived in Ottawa, Canada and he in Detroit. We always looked forward to seeing him when he came to town to visit or at family weddings and we will all miss him.

Cousin Gerry was a very special member of the Saslove family. Everyone always looked forward to when he would come to Ottawa for a visit. He always had a smile on his face, a laugh in his belly and genuinely cared about each and every member of the family. He loved getting all the news about what was going on and i know that my dad will miss him terribly. Such a man of compassion and values, he will be missed. Baruch Dayen HaEmet.

Gerry was the sweetest, most outgoing charismatic person I’ve ever known. We were blessed that he was part of our family. Jerry never missed a family function, if possible he was always in attendance and the life of the party. He will be forever missed. rest in peace Jerry. Xoxox

my dear cousin. we grew up together in Detroit and continued our long distance relationship for over 75 years. rest in peace my friend

Jerry, It was such a horner that I could call you a very dear and close friend. We met and worked on the 1st AIDS walk here in Albuquerque over thirty years ago and raised over 100,000. More people loved you than you will ever know. You and I had many extraordinary conversations over the past year, and I know that you went to the other side; you were ready and had no regreats. We both had walked a path with many trying medical conditions, and both of us had an inner peace that many will...

A generous and kind man. I met him at a potluck in LA in 2002. He said come on down to Albuquerque some time for a visit, so I did. He put me up and put up with me for weeks while I explored Albuquerque. When I finally moved here last year, I went by his house and saw the rainbow flag still flying, so I knew he was probably still around. The community will miss him.
