Not sure what to say?

Can´t believe you left us three years ago. Trust you are busy as ever. Best wishes. Gus

Dodds all- Just happened to Google Jeremy today and was saddened to read that he had died two years ago. Figured he was invincible. Tom and I first met Jer in the summer of 1974 when we hired him to be our wedding photographer (Friday Sept 13, 1974). Free spirited, crazy character-we hit it off immediately. Thanks, Jeremy-keep on dancing in the clouds! Tom and Anne Mondelci Lyme, CT

I met Jerry in the early 1960s. His brother Tom and I were graduate students at George Washington University. Jerry was always interesting. Full of life, very fair, and quite studious at his own pace. He was truly unforgettable and a pleasure to be with.
Rest in Peace Jerry. Save me a fluffy cloud!

He made me laugh so much. Can't say I've loved someone as much as him outside of my family. Im a much different person because of him. Love you Jerry.

I have missed the many warm conversations about family, national and local history, politics, and both of our families that I had with Gerry when he worked at the school in the Hadlyme section of East Haddam. The conversations were always intelligent, thoughtful, witty, and made for continuing reflection. His infectious smile and good humor always brought a better day.

I new Jerry whole working the community service program with him...we became good friends and had the exact same political views...we also golfed often even though he was new to the game...loved it when he picked my brain...he also kept me updated about his Son Owen...very proud of him let me tell you!...last time I saw him we went to Yale Bowl to see the Bulldogs take on Penn. I will miss him dearly...see you on the other side my friend. Jim Otwell...p.s. everything in his obituary we at...
