Jerome L. Gresham

I am so very touched by the many letters of comfort sent via this guest book. Jerome left a legacy of special relationships. My closer relationship was with his spouse, Willie Mae Shecut Gresham. It would be my joy to connect with her again.

Dr. Gresham visited his wife's first grade class in Sitka to teach us how to tell time. I remember him fondly, and was thrilled to see him on "To Tell The Truth" a few years later. I am very sorry to hear of his passing, his family should know that they touched many young lives.

My condolences to the family of Dr. Gresham. He was an inspirational teacher in our English class at Sheldon Jackson High School.

Dr. Gresham, Jerry as I knew him, was a good friend at Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka Alaska. My wife, Dorothy, and I have very fond memories of the years we spent together in Sitka in the company of Jerry and Willie Mae. We want to express our most sincere condoleances to the entire family.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Gresham's passing and send condolences to his family. I so appreciated the encouragement and motivation provided by Dr.Gresham during his time at Sheldon Jackson High School in Sitka Alaska. We were privileged to have him as a teacher.

I came to Barber Scotia college in 1966 as a young black man wanting to change the world. I met Dr Gresham and because of his leadership and inspiration I became a professional educator sharing the same values Dr. Gresham gave me. May God bless the Gresham family. We have lost a great man who mentored others to give back to their community.

I attended Barber-Scotia from 1967-71. As a freshman, I was having financial difficulties. I talked to everyone that I felt could help me but to no avail. Dr. Gresham spoke to our class one day and said that anyone who wanted an education could get it. I told him of my situation. The same day I received financial help. I will always be thankful to Dr. Gresham. May God bless his family.
