I was so sad to hear about Jerry's passing. My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Columbo family. I was a classmate of Jerry's at All Soul's and remember his welcoming smile and warm personality. His zest for life will live on in all those who were fortunate enough to know him!
Sincerely,

I wish to extend my condolences to the Colombo family. My contact with Jerry was limited to a single project, but I learned a good deal about working with drywall from him. He did beautiful work. I remain most appreciative of the care he took and the guidance he provided to me.
May your memories of fun moments with Jerry bring a smile to your face for many years into the future.

My most sincere condolences to the all of the Colombo Family. Jerry and I were classmates at All Souls. I also remember his close friendship with Mitch Hunt. What a pair. I too remember Jerry's folks and the incredible meals that were prepared by Josephina. Great memories along with the current sadness at his passing. So many stories. Until that time Jer....

My sincere condolences to the Colombo Family. I remember Jerry coming to All Souls School, in mid afternoon, covered in dust and grime from one of his job sites to pick up his sons: Joe and Ben, in that beat up long-bed pick up truck. And I always remembered his smile through his beard.
May God bless you and guide the Colombo family through this tragic time.
Aloha,
Siatuu (All Souls, Class of 1980)

My sympathy to Jerry's family and friends. Jerry and I were classmates at All Souls and Serra. My daughter attended All Souls with Jerry's son Bennie. I always remember Jerry as a gentle giant with a big smile and a kind word. He was a true gentleman.

Our hearts go out to Joey and Benny and their precious families. There was never a more loving father or grandfather on this planet. He was also the very best friend a person could have had. His passing has left a huge hole in our hearts. He will be horribly missed and "never" forgotten.

Joe and Benny, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Father was a great person who was always willing to lend a hand and advice. He truly has infuenced my life with his wisdom and I will not forget him. Jerry was a hard worker, successful (very), decent, a family man, a kind person and most of all a friend to everyone he met. He will be greatly missed.

I am sorry to hear of our loss. Jerry was a childhood friend and I spent many an hour playing sports at the "Rec Center" or out in front of his house. He'll be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Jerrys' family and friends. He was a special person in the life of my companion, Kaye
Warren, who thoroughly enjoyed their special chats. Jerrys' love for his family was paramount in his life, and I know they will miss him very much. ...He will always be remembered because he was so well loved.

Wow, What a loss. Friend, coworker, and someone who was always there to help out, or just talk about stuff with. He will really be missed.
Sincere condolences to the Colombo Family.

My condolences to the Colombo family. I spent much of my early years with Jerry playing ball,going to school and hanging around Giacomo and Josephina's kitchen. We were no strangers to mischef in those days. We shared many adventures together. Jerry will not be soon forgotten.

Sincere condolences to the Columbo Family. I am sorry for your loss. Jerry was a true "gentleman and craftsman". Jerry and I go back many years, He in drywall and I in building inspection. I know he will be missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace Jerry.

Dear Joe, Ben, Connie and family,
Your obituary for Jerry was very touching and so true. I have so many
fond memories of times shared with Jerry and my brother - we used
to meet each week at Red's and eat and laugh (Jerry enjoyed both).
Jerry will never be forgotten - he does and will continue to live always in our hearts. My deepest sympathy.
Love,
Nancy
