Not sure what to say?

June, Ann and I were away last year when Jerry´s memorial service was held and so we were unable to offer our condolences then. We remember the annual holiday party you and Jerry hosted in your beautiful Georgetown home and were kind enough to invite us to. It was a highlight of our holiday season each year. Although I was not in the tax group, early in my career Jerry introduced me to GM and Kiewit which led to two of the most interesting and memorable projects of my career. Our thoughts...

Hi June, Hard to believe Jerry is no longer with us. I have lots of memories with both of you. Hope all is good. Zita Rudolph

A scholar and a gentleman of majestic accomplishments. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear June, I no longer live in the DC area but want to tell you I have many many memories of you and Jerry. You and Jerry were very special people. Jerry will be sadly missed. My deepest condolences . Love, Zita Rudolph

Dear June and Nancy With our deepest sympathy. You and Jerry were such wonderful neighbors and hosts during our lives together on P Street and beyond. It was always so interesting to talk to Jerry about law and many other thinks. Will always remember that twinkle in his eye. Thinking of you. Liz and Paul Friedman

It was an honor and a privilege to know Jerry and June from my teenage years when my cousin, Dottie Park and her wonderful husband, Roy Park, introduced us. Jerry was always there for Dottie and Roy and the great mission of the Park Foundation from the beginning. I was proud to introduce my husband, Leighton Strader, to Jerry and June as well where we both enjoyed special times together in DC, NYC and Ithaca. He will be sorley missed and so fondly remembered.

June and Nancy, I was deeply saddened to learn of Jerry´s death, and I wanted to extend my heartfelt condolences. In the Fall of 1973, when I was applying for the summer program at Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan, Jerry was the first attorney in the Washington office to interview me. He was the consummate gentleman and equally impressive lawyer. I spent 17 years at the Firm and saw him virtually every day. In 1993, during a difficult time for the Firm and for me, Jerry played a pivotal and...

Dear June, Kate and I are so sorry to learn of Jerry´s passing. We always will cherish the time we spent together and the feeling of kindred spirit with both of you. Whether it was having dinner together somewhere in the U.S or abroad, sharing a taxi, or just walking together and exchanging ideas, we will always cherish and be thankful for our time together and Jerry´s thoughtful insights on the affairs of the day. Kate & Sol Coffino
