Jerry: It's been eight years, and I still don't believe it. Fred Rasmussen

Hello Jerry: I think of you often and so miss our friendship and wonder what you would make of these crazy times we live in. It's been seven years now, but I'm a firm believer that time cannot take away what was, and what was, still endures. The Irish have a saying about death which I find most comforting: "He's not dead, he's just in the next room." -30-

I still don't believe it, Jerry.
I miss your vivaciousness, your outlook on current events, and most of all, your abiding friendship.
The ancient Egyptians wrote in "The Book of the Dead," that to "speak of the dead is to give the breath of eternal life," so, in that regard, Jill and I speak often of you.

Your friendship still beams after all these years, but I must say, I still miss your wonderfully erudite, intelligent, observant, trenchant and comic emails, and the way that you looked at the world and the characters, charlatans, morons and events that define it.
Not much got by you in life, Jerry.
I still feel close to you because of my friendship with Jill. When we're together, you always get into the conversation somehow or other, sooner or later.
The other day she gave me...
