We think of you, Jerry, often and also Sally. We're glad to have your carving of the bald eagle that you gave us when you came to Federal Way by train -- it was a wonderful visit; one that we'll never forget!

Jerry was a part of my life and I knew him through my Father, Timothy Donatell. He was a great guy. I will never forget him. I can't believe 11 years have passed since his passing. He will always be remembered.

I'm so sorry to here about your loss. I will always remeber Jerry as being a huge part of my life. I had the pleasure of working with him at Dey Brother's. Honestly I'm tearing up as I type this. He was so funny & wonderful. I'm so sorry that I did not keep him closer to me as I lived my life but I will alway always remeber him. I have to tell a story: Jerry & Sonny would cut each other's hair. When one was done with the other they would pay each other one dollar. It was just so funny. Then...

Dey Family,

I was just talking to my dad (Ray Herbst)about Jerry's passing. He mentioned that Jerry always greeted him with "you're my best, old friend". Their friendship began in kindergarten and continued thru out their lives. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but do recall my dad mentioning Jerry and his wonderful family quite often. I know my dad will miss his great friend. From all that I have heard and read, I told my dad I nicknamed him "St. Jerry".

In Deepest...

So sorry to hear about Jerry from a mutual friend. Jerry was a close friend many years ago. We went to church together, bowled together and spent time in the Marine Reserve together. Jerry was best man at Connie and my wedding back in June 1960. Like so many friends we lost touch thru the years. Afew years ago I happened to be snowmobiling in the Big Fork area and made contact with Jerry. It was good to see him. He will be missed.

Dey family, I was so sorry to hear of Jerry passing, He was on the other shift at station 7, The nicest man, nicest smile,He will always be smiling down on all of us...

So sorry to hear about Jerry.I sure will miss Jerry coming up to Big Falls every summer.Always a smile on his face and camera in his hand.One of the very best .

I first met Jerry in the chow line at the mess hall at NAS MPLS.It was in the winter when I ducked a snowball that then hit Jerry in the face. I led him into the chowhall cared his tray and led him to table where we ate our meal.Jerry and I and many other Marines worked together for many years drank a few beers had a lot of laughs and many good times. You will be missed. Simper Fi. My Friend Far winds and Folling Seas
