Always remembered and admired

I'm just learning of this sad news. I met Jerry through my love of Salvador Dali. He had an amazing collection and I purchased many pieces from him. He was always very cordial. I remember he named one of his cats Dali. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Jerry will always have a special place in our heart.

I was shocked and so sad/sorry to hear this news. I first knew Jerry when we were in Elementary school as our parents were good friends.

It meant a lot and it's a memory that was brought back when I saw he had passed and you should know how many lives he touched both with his signs but also with his humanity. My deepest condolences.

I am sorry for the loss of Jerry . He was always so friendly. I knew him thru the Weingarden family . Carol Booth

May Jerry go to his place of rest and go there in peace. May all who morn find comfort and may that which he did be a blessing for us all, especially Mrs. Bengis, Marvin and Lori

I met Jerry while I was President and CEO of Spec's Music. He fabricated most of the signs for our stores. Always a pleasure to work with and so helpful. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Ann Spector Lieff

I met Jerry at UM. He was a great guy and will be missed by all who knew him. Bumped into him on a cruise ship in Europe. Loved his GTO.
