Rest in peace, my friend. You are well remembered. Tjaz

Gerry, Almost 20 years after your passing, you are still touching the lives of young people. I want to thank you for this show that I was able to put on with my students. Their enthusiasm and investment in the story only confirmed that your work was truly remarkable and life changing. I am sharing the video of our show here in case anyone happens upon it who loved your work and will be comforted in knowing that it lives on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIhAvJGD45o

Eighteen years & you're still on my mind. I [ray the family is well.

It's seventeen years, Gerry and I still often think about you; the laughs, and the dreams we both shared. You never gave up, built your company in Scottsdale, became an institution, and left a lasting legacy. Congratulations on a life well lived.

Joan & Ian: Jerry's still in my memories.

Dear Laurie and Joan:

Gerry was one in a million. He touched countless lives in the most positive ways including mine. I will never forget Gerry.

I posted a overdue trubute and video to Gerry on my blog.

It's been a year now since Jerry's passing and it seems like just a few weeks have passed. Our lives move by so fast it is worthwhile to reflect on the past and remember those who have touched our lives.

Gerry you gave me my first real theatre experience and let me blossom through the parts helping me with every step. It's still a shock that this has happened. It's too unreal. I still remember walking to the theatre from school and seeing your bright face when I walked into the theatre. I will miss you Gerry, forever.

Laurie, Joan, and Ian. I give my love and prayers to you as this happened and they are still with you.

Laurie, how sorry I am to hear about Gerry. He was a wonderfull person. One of the best things I did in my life was to buy "The Actors Cafe Theater" in NJ from him. It has given me a liftime gift of theater and all I learned from him. We will always hold him in our hearts.

Love: Moe,Jen(the original Ugly Duckling) and Chris
