Not sure what to say?

Touching my soul, you raised me higher than I knew. Thank you

You touched my soul, never to be forgotten.
Thank you

Missing you, dear friend, loving the legacy you have left for students and and oh, so many friends!!!!!!!!

I just learned of Jerry's passing today. Jerry was one of our most respected and enjoyable clients --- a true example of really good architecture coming from really good clients --- and Jerry was that. I remember as well Jerry and Mary Lou at our annual Boat Parade Christmas Party --- never have there been more affable and collegial guests. I shall not soon forget you Jerry --- you have touched my life so positively.

I will always remember Mr. Samuelson cheering at our basketball games. Often times giving the refs an earfull with my dad and the other fathers . He was so proud of his sons, with good reason. Even more evident was how adoring he was of his wonderful wife...and mother of his sons. What a great example he was. What a great bar he set. It's no wonder that my great friend Mikey grew up to be the man he was, with such a father. My condolences to the entire Samuelson family.

Jerry, you will be remembered always as the "leader of the band" - what a legacy you leave : to all of the lives you have touched and there are thousands,you will live on eternally.
My love to you, Mary Lou.

Jerry truly was one of the leaders and builders at Cal State Fullerton. He leaves a legacy of leadership and integrity. He will be missed.

Gerald will always hold a special rembrance for me. One memory was he took Mom, Debbie, Maryan and myself to the bus depot to depart for Seattle for a vacation. On that trip he gave me my first brownie camera. Another memory was he came to my high school graduation which meant a great deal to me. Marylou, Steve, Jon, and Eric you will always be in my thoughts and prayer
