Jerry G. Rutledge

I was saddened to find out about Jerry´s passing today when I went in the store today to ask him to lunch, as was our tradition when I came to town.

Dear Jan, Please accept my sincerest condolences. I have you in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry was such a great guy, very kind impeccable taste, a true gentleman.....You were perfect for each other. The good Lord wrapped his loving arms around Jerry and took him home free of pain. I send lots of prayers and many big hugs to you and your family.

Jan, Marty and I are sorry sorry and sad we got to know Jerry only late in his life. God´s Speed. Love, Marty and Al

Always great to deal with Jerry at his store....Easy to see how much he loved what he was doing!!!

We shared many happy times on the tennis court, he was a wonderful player. He was a good friend and will be sorely missed.

Dear Jan and John, I am so sorry for your loss. Jerry was an incredible person, one who always supported and encouraged me in my role as Director of Tennis at The Broadmoor. He was beloved by our members, was a beautiful tennis player and sportsman. He was a true gentleman, a man of faith, a style icon and someone we will miss dearly.

Jan and John, I´m sorry for your loss. Jerry was such an instrumental person in my life-from my junior high days working in retail clothing stores-he helped me learn about clothes and style. But he was also the kindest man with an always-ready smile and handshake. Later, in graduate school in Boulder, I would get to see Jerry and Jan at football games; he was always so encouraging. My last memory of him was at the store, introducing him to my partner, Kevin. He was as gracious in meeting him...

You will truly be missed. A institution in a very transitional town.
On my rare visits there, I could always count on Jerry still being there, in my former work place when it was Perkins Shearer. Always friendly,
always had time to visit and chat and always forward thinking.
He was my last connection with Colorado Springs, which I left mid 80s being transfered by Perkins Shearer to new Polo Stores in Southern CA.
When he heard by a mutual client how homesick I was, he...
