Not sure what to say?

Dr. Manheim was such an influence on my life. I'm glad we were able to communicate after so many years.
I shall never forget him.

To the Manheim family:
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Dear Jerry. He was so much fun and I have always been grateful for his kindness and friendliness to me. I worked at the bank in Stevenson and Jerry had us over for "underground movies" etc. He was a joy to know and I know how much you must miss him. Love to you all, Mary McDonnell

Dear Sylvia, Karl, Lisa and Camryn: Jerry was extraordinary, in so many ways. He married a fabulous woman and together they reared three amazing children. Many years ago, I got lucky and was drawn, for a time, into your lives. Hanging out with Jerry and Sylvia was pure joy. My heart goes out to you all -- I know you will miss him. Mary Curtius (Arlington, VA)

Dear Sylvia, Camryn, & Milo,
We were so very sorry to hear of your loss. Bryan, Anthony & I so enjoyed our time with Jerry, and hope that all the wonderful memories you shared with him will bring you comfort.

Karl --- Sorry to learn of your loss. Our best thoughts to you and your family.

Dear Sylvia and family,
Jerry was a respected and dear friend of my late husband Semaan Salem. Semaan appreciated Jerry for his intelligence and his wit. Do you remember taking Semaan and me to a lecture at a Jewish Center when I was over nine months pregnant and Jerry reassuring me not to worry because, if I felt a contraction, there was sure to be a doctor in the house?

Jerry gave me the yogurt starter that I am still using all these decades.

I am very sorry...

Im so sorry to hear of jerry's passing. He and your family were a great help to me when I first came out to california. a very kind and caring man.

Dear Sylvia and family,

Jerry's death is a great loss. He was a very bright and funny man who brought a warm presence to our OLLI. His many achievements are well documented. We will miss him greatly. My sincere condolences.

Dina, Noah, and Maya send you their love, as do I.

To the whole Manheim family:

All of us -- Dina, Maya, Noah and me -- so wish we could have attended the service. Jerry was brilliant, funny, steadfast, and courageous. Warm and welcoming to me, my wife, and my children, we all consider him and the whole Manheim family a part of ours. His greatest and most enduring monument is his relationship with Sylvia, his astonishing and accomplished and passionate children, and his equally amazing grandchildren.
Our deepest love and...
