I was one year behind Jere at Jesuit and followed him to the Naval Academy where he protected me as though I was his little brother. I marvelled at his capability to do well within the military structure and yet never take too seriously many of its odd requirements. A trustworthy man and every man's friend. Even though I have not seen him since his shoved off for the Marines that June day in 1973, I'm a lessened by his passing and enobled by his memory.

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Jerrold. I lost my dad a few months ago so we can somewhat understand the pain you must all be going through. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Peterson family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. Please accept my most sincere sympathy and know that you are in my prayers during this difficult time.
I worked with "Colonel Jerry" to bring the Marine Corps Reserve Officer's Association's annual conference to New Orleans in 2002 and 2003. In working with him, I was struck by his graciousness, charm, quick wit, and outgoing personality.
He was a good man, and will be missed.
Semper Fidelis,
Maj Tom...
