Jerry Jones

After many years away from WA, extremely saddened to learn of Jerry´s passing. He was a huge part of my life, while in Grad school at UW....deep special lovely connection. Now I know that he achieved the goals ++++ he was just formulating when we were close. He wished to, and obviously did, leave this world better for his multiple contributions, leave his children ready to handle their future with his love and guidance.

Jerry was the essence of cool. He was urbane, streetwise, and many other seemingly opposite traits. I remember when he was 26 that he felt his home should be decorated in a sophisticated style-which we shopped for. Jerry was unique

remember jerry from the 70s, when he lit up the floor dancing at sundays to the music of the disco era! he rarely left the floor and always had a smile for everyone he engaged. a true gentleman in every sense of the word. we would run into each other every so often, and he would talk of those years,and how much he enjoyed them! will miss u my friend, until the other side.

Oh Jerry. Why'd you have to go and die so young?

Since I met you early in 1969, you were a big beautiful smile in my life, always a pleasure to see, to run into. Your mom would say Don't you pay no attention to him, he's so full of himself, but we all did, because we knew just how wonderful a person you were, so kind, so genuinely interested in knowing how we were doing, how our families were, how we were. You would light up when little Jerry would be around you, when Jia was there,...

Our condolences and prayers to the Jones Family. Harold and I have known Jerry since the 70's when I can see him now dancing at Sundays to the famous disco music. He was always happy, and would always greet us with a smile and a big hug, usually at a basketball game. He will be missed but his contributions to the Seattle community will be stamped on the city's history forever. RIP Jerry, God's speed
