Family and friends of Jerry: I am the Spiritual Assistant of the Secular Franciscan fraternities in Northern Ohio and all of Michigan. In that capacity I came to know Jerry. I was out of town when news reached me of Jerry's passing. The last time I saw him was when he made the trip, by bus I think, up to Detroit last August to participate in the day of reflection on St. Clare of Assisi. Given the obvious difficulty he had in making his way around, I was amazed at his presence among us, yet his devotion to his Franciscan vocation was once again so evident to me. I will offer Mass for Jerry's intentions and those of all of you who mourn his passing. If I can help any of you, please let me know. May the Good and Loving God give you peace, Fr. Tod S. Laverty, OFM, St. Aloysius Church in downtown Detroit

Younger first cousin Jerry was a well-read, caring person, good writer and teacher, as well as a dedicated local citizen in his Polish neighborhood, as well as being a deep appreciator of his cultural and religious heritage. He lived virtually his whole life in the same house just blocks from where his parents, grandparents, and some great grandparents once lived and worked, on old Lagrange St. That local upbringing did not stop him from stretching his wings to work and pray for the promotion of human rights around the world. Let his spirit and dedication be an example for us all.

Mozzie was a true friend to so many people of all colors, shapes, sizes, beliefs and direction. So many are affected by this loss; but are so much better for having known him and his passions for history, nationality and religious reflection.... Jerry...a true friend and favorite character.

To the Family of Gerald A Mazuchowski: Having worked with Jerry at Robinson Jr High School, I witnessed his passion for Polish history and his ability to find humor in life. "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." (KJV) My prayer is to this end--that you will be comforted while continuing life with Godly passion.
