So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing and i am sending you all my deepest condolances.
Spending time with Jerry and Robin has always been a joy, either supporting our sons in opposing soccer teams (Albany against Athens)., or painting together in the colorfull house on Lorene Avenue or doing workshops together with Robin for Capp.
Thanks for all the joy and love you have brought to this world Jerry, I will always remember.
With hugs from across the ocean.

Robin,
Scott and I send our deepest condolences. What a beautiful obituary to pay tribute to a wonderful person who so touched lives of those in need. I hope your sorrow in his loss turns to smiles of loving memories that we can only imagine.

I will never forget the warmth, joy and music that Jerry brought to whatever occasion prompted a gathering of the old Bible Center, hootenanny, ex-priest or lifelong friends groups. Jerry was a music maker that brought humor and harmony wherever he went. It was lovely to know him. My deepest sympathy to Robin and their beloved children and grandchildren at their heartbreaking loss.
