Not sure what to say?

Jerry my dear friend, Rest easy.
You meant so much to me.
I'll miss you,
John

Jerry was my Obi-Wan Kenobi, as I affectionately called him "Jerry-Wan". For he shared all the knowledge and wisdom I needed to become the clean and sober man I am today. In the last 3 years, Jerry helped me realize my self-worth, inner strength and my purpose in life today: to stay sober, help others and bring joy to as many people I can just as he did. My heart broke when I heard the news of his passing, but was also in a way relieved knowing he wasn't suffering anymore. God, what a brave...

Jerry was very influential, probably the most influential person in my recovery from drug addiction. He had a very special and irreplaceable touch for making you feel appreciated and responsible and loved all in one statement! He will be greatly missed but always remembered with love, respect, and appreciation by myself and everyone whoever new or worked with him. The world (and especially Right-turn)has a huge void which will be hard to fill!

Jerry was like a second father to me! He was always encouraging Leah and I to follow are dreams and dance! You're gonna be missed Pops!!

Jerry, ever gentle and kind, will be sorely missed by this fellow golfer and fellowship member. He won some of my cash many times, but then would buy breakfast. His familiar words, 'thanks Babe', always brought a smile to my face. My deepest condolences, to Angie and all of his family.

angie, and family - so sorry to hear about jerry- our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family -- ned & sue coen

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. Jerry was a friend to many, and he will be missed.
