Not sure what to say?

Just learned of Jerry's passing. Jerry and I spent 4 Years as Students at Bishop McDevitt High School in Wyncote Pa. We graduated in 1963 and took a Senior Trip to Washington DC. During those years Jerry would invite friends over for a pool party at his Parent's house. Jerry was a Great Friend and I will miss him.

lost in a Mexican boulder strewn ravine with buzzards circling and no shade....one of the best rides ever.
Thank you

Such a great friend. So sorry to see he's gone. Saw him a few years ago and had a WONDERFUL overdue visit. Met him at Franconia College in the 60's and always stayed in touch. Love you man. Be at peace.

Met Jerry at Franconia College back in 1963 and we became fast friends. I was born in New Britain, lived in Canton for 28 years. Had no idea Jerry was just down the road. Our son lives in Unionville & I was also in VISTA. We come to CT every year from NC and I was going to be calling Jerry when we finally made our plans.
Jerry was such a great friend, listener, and just a very nice all around man. He will be missed!
Our best to his family and our prayers to you all,
Tom and Ginnie...

Miss you buddy

Jerry was a wonderful friend and worked hard to help NETRA members and friends of off road riding. He will be missed.

You are the celebration. See you in the next lap.

RIP Jerry. Thanks for mentoring me on trail bossing an enduro.
