Dear Jerry, I had a feeling and it's true. I waited for your emails but hoped it was my computer that failed. I cherish the memories and inspiration you gave me. Oh how I wish I had known. I wanted you to know how I admired you for being brave, eccentric, creative, your own person. Because of you, Mexico, art and independence live on in me. Rest in peace dear friend.

Jerry,
will never forget the times at your pond even though everyone caught fish there but me.
But the memory I will cherish the most is when Cody was playing baseball and looking out into the crowd I would see you there to support him. Never missed a game
I will never forget the kindness you shared with our family and the cookouts we had.
Jerry you will be missed and it was a blessing to us to call you friend.
rest in peace my friend.

Uncle Jerry,

The art that you have given me over the years hangs in my home! It seems to have a little bit more meaning to me now, however odd that seems. I picked out some of the art myself because it "matched" my room/ house. You made fun of that. You told me to get rid of my couch if it didn't match. You told me that I should like the art, for the art, not if it matched. Well, you got your wish. I will always like the art now. I no longer care if it matches. I am sorry I did not call you more. I told mom I would call you when I heard you fell. I told her I would call you the next day. I had every intention, but I did not. I will not forgive myself for that. Rest in peace. You are greatly missed.

Jerry Domokur has been a friend of mine since the early 60's. His drawings and artwork are treasures. Jerry was an amazing character. Truly, one of a kind. I'm stunned and saddened by this news. Sincere condolences to the Domokur family for their loss.

My sympathies go out to all of Jerry's friends and family. I only knew Jerry from printing his art. He was very patient waiting for them to get done while I knew he was anxious to get them. I truly loved and enjoyed seeing his work more than any of the others. Thank You Jerry for sharing your wonderful gift..until we meet again.

Jerry was my father's best friend when they were growing up on Summit Lake in Akron. That little street, Rothrock Avenue, produced a lifetime of memories. I hope that all of "The Goldfishers" from the neighborhood are having a happy reunion in heaven. My condolences to the Domokur family.
