i'd like to encourage anyone who'd care to learn more about mr. girardi and the amazing story of his and his wife's children to pick up the 9-24-12 'the new yorker' piece authored by gay talese about jerry's middle son, joe, and his love for a dad who meant and did so much for this remarkable family. mr. girardi not only earned his eternal reward, but he apparently spent most waking moments unselfishly pursuing it! many prayers for this wonderful example of a husband, father and man, and...

Girardi Family,
I remember Jerry when he was a member of the Sunnyland "Old Farts". He was always a gentleman and enjoyable to be around with his cheerful attitude.
I too have lost my father to Alzheimer which is a difficult disease. It is always hard to lose a parent no matter what caused it.
Please know that I will be lifting you and your family in prayer.
May Jesus Bless you with peace in your heart.

I have been a Yankees fan since I was 12, and growing up in California....I'm now 48, living just south of Peoria, and STILL a fan. The Yankees are like family to me, and when I heard of Jerry's passing, I was saddened deeply. My heart goes out to the entire Girardi clan, and Joe, especially to you, as you have been a trooper and an example to all in this last difficult week and a half, all you've had to deal with. From what I have read, your folks did good with you and your siblings. You and...

Girardi Family,
Not sure if you will remember my dad, Charles Smith, worked with your dad @ National Gypsum in Peoria. We last saw Jerry when he was in St Louis years ago to watch Joe play, I think when he was with the Cardinals. I have a few memories as a child, but know my dad would say Jerry was a good friend and co-worker. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Sympathy to the entire Girardi family on your loss. I have fond memories of playing travel ball with Joe for Leroy Schmidt team and Mr and Mrs Girardi were very nice people. May God take care of him now and he will always be remembered.

Dear Girardi Family,

Michael and I want to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of your father, Jerry. We had the opportunity to meet him in Fort Collins. He was very proud of you, George and all of his children. Your in our thoughts and prayers.
