Not sure what to say?

Time is not a friend. This Jerry and I agreed on . It goes all to quickly. He was good in a simple and pure way.

I taught English with Jerry in China. We shared ideas and pizza, and combined classes, sometimes simultaneously. I helped Jerry buy a camera, after which he became an enthusiastic paparazzi and was always keen to share his latest photos. He had a knack for portraiture. Jerry had a razor sharp wit and an empathetic ear. He spoke of his family with pride and affection. My thoughts are with them at this time.

Courageous fighter, father & friend. His legacy lies with his children & grandson... They will keep his spirit alive and never forget.

He took time for me because someone took time for him. I will always treasure his guidence and friendship.

Jerry will be missed greatly. I too knew him online as Dark Clarity. He was a larger than life kind of guy. So easy to talk to and great to have a laugh with. Always there to make us smile. He was committed and never let us down and always reminded us not to take things too seriously. A wonderful friend. Will be thinking about his family at this time. We will all miss you, Jerry.

A kind, caring man with a marvelous sense of humor, he is also one whom i will miss. Jerry was always more interested in helping others than talking about himself. My deepest sympathies for his family, whom he spoke of often, and prayers for peace for all who are missing him.
