Not sure what to say?

A good guy, a solid citizen, a loyal friend - that was Jerry.  I worked with him at JCU.  We relied on each other's judgment and friendship.  May you rest in peace, Jerry.

Humanity has suffered a deep loss in my brother's passing. He definitely epitomized humanity at its best!

Although we have not seen each other in many years, I remember the joy in my heart and person with the time that we spent together. My heart is saddened by your loss oh, but blessed that you are no longer in such severe pain. We have another angel in heaven today to watch over us and may you rejoice in the reunions with your parents and other ones who have gone before us. I pray you watch over your siblings, family and friends. Heaven is blessed to have another soldier in Christ. I love you...

Dear Judith, I am so sorry to learn of Jerry's passing. I have fond memories of you from MSASS but most recently from seeing you at In Motion when you brought him for classes. Jerry was blessed to have such a devoted and loving sister. May your memories be a comfort to you. Warmly, Margie Klein

Dear Judy and Family, I am so sorry. Jerry was a major figure in the Justice community in Cleveland and I remember him on JCU campus and at Carmelite monastery. His death marks the passing of another Catholic who lived the Spirit of Vatican II. With prayerful sympathy, Sr. Beverly Anne

"The coming of wisdom with time" Though leaves are many, the root is one; Through all the lying days of my youth I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun; Now I may wither into the truth. W.B.Yeats We will miss you uncle Jerry!!! With love!

Jerry had a wonderful gift of story telling and a grand memory for jokes. When he combined them, I was hoodwinked every time. He would start telling a tale as if it happened to him. Not until the punchline did I know he was joking with me. Ah. Jerry. One if a kind. Sincerity and jocularity combined in one fine guy. Condolences to Julie, all the family, and too many friends to count.
