Not sure what to say?

I remember picking jerry up from the airport in 1960 when he first came to L.A. I thought WOW a cool cousin as I was only 7 years old. he slept at our house for like a year. he slept on my bed and me in a sleeping bag on the floor. we talked all night and listened to my transistor radio. after I got out of the Navy he hired me to drive the A&M delivery van. I will always appreciate the generosity. Wished we could have been closer/ wished I could've said Thank You one last time.. RIP...

My favorite horse owner for 30 years. Rest in peace Jerry.

I am a first cousin, once removed, from Jerry. My father Marty was extremely close to Jerry and his brother Freddy when they were growing up.

Gone But Never Never Never Forgotten. We All Will Miss Your Smile.

So sorry to hear of his passing. He really cared about his horses huge loss for racing may he RIP.

I was in awe of Jerry from the very beginning - well before his mind-blowing successes turned him into a lifelong legend. He was the son of my mom's Aunt Rose, and drove out to California to seek his fortune. Once in town, he came to stay at our place for a while. I awoke in the middle of the night to find a handsome young man sleeping in my brother's bed (definitely not my 9 year old brother). The next morning this handsome stranger was introduced to me as my 2nd cousin, Jerry. I was...
