Jerry Kellar

Needless to say, I was very upset and saddened to hear of Jerry's early death! I went to school with Jerry - and though we did not stay in close contact, we ran into each other periodically, and he always made you feel like you were best friends. He will always be remembered as a great person, and one who would do anything for you. My sincere condolences to his family.

I, too, was deeply saddened at the news of Jerry's death. He was a sweet guy with a big heart. He also was a talented sportswriter who was dedicated to our local athletes and sports programs. Condolences to Jerry's family and friends.

I knew Jerry only through reading his work. For not knowing him personally I feel poorer. Though I left the Valley in 1968, sports - and reading about them are one of my links to things there. When I wanted the truth, I turned to Jerry's columns. Through the comments of many I feel that i have gotten to know him better - and I like him. Peace to his family, dogs & friends.

Jerry, I am sure you will bring happiness and humor in heaven to all the people and dogs that went before you. Tell, Chipper and Baylee hello for me :). Your love of people, dogs and sports were such a part of you. You were a good friend and sort of neighbor who always made me laugh! I will never forget our dinners at the Ryah house and our trip to the Bills vs.Cowboys Game. Memories are forever. May your big soul rest in peace.

Jerry was one of those guys you could always count on. He will be missed in so many ways.

It was my distinct pleasure to know
Jerry. Covering Ohio State, Penn
State and Notre Dame for an online
service, I enjoyed my many sessions
with the Penn State "roadies" and
Jerry was as often as not the toast
of the party.

Life can bring some exhilarating
triumphs and some truly melancholy
low points. God works in mysterious
ways and I am sure His plan for
Jerry includes many a remembrance
in the Beaver Stadium press box
and in many...

When I hear the name Jerry Kellar, I smile or laugh. Not today. I've just learned that one of the best, biggest hearted people on this earth has passed away. I find it very hard to believe, much less absorb. My heart is heavy. So many memories I have to hold on to. I first met "Jerome J. Kellar" in August of 1988 when I started at the paper. I considered Jerry one of my best friends. Since I left the paper he was one of the very few I made it a point to keep in touch with. If Jerry was your...

I first met Jerry in the Fall of 1999. It was my arrival into the Scranton/WB market. I will never forget Jerry. He always wanted to know the inside dirt on WNEP. He wanted to know what the on air talent was all about. Besides that---we talked a lot of PSU. When I moved to Cleveland two years ago we still managed to keep in touch. On his rides back to NEPA he would call me and talk about how good or bad the game was. I enjoyed those phone calls. He was a good man! I will miss those late...

As a photographer who was part of the traveling Penn State football press corp, I got to know Jerry. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his passing and I am terribly sorry for your loss. In speaking this weekend to many of the guys who were part of the Penn State beat, you should know that we all agreed that no one could every remember hearing a bad word about him. His sense of humor was second to none and I know that may of us have spent the past few days thinking of him and...
