Think of Jerry often and I always think of his Love and how he spread Love wherever he went. As I grow I realize more and more what he was teaching and the importance of being Love. A typical student of great Teachers, I knew I didnt fully comprehend what Jerry was telling me, but I realized it was Truth and I would continue to work on myself and maybe one day I would get it. Thank you Jerry for all you are.

I met Jerry at a Starbucks, he gave me his gift of love flyer, and also gave me an apple pie. He was also nice enough to come to my college religion class and give a talk, which was very well received. I am sad to learn of his passing, even after 8 years. His family and friends are in my thoughts.

Wow...we've moved out of state and I just found out today..on his 2nd Anniversary of "transition." He was such a light worker...such a loving presence in this world! I have always loved him and deeply appreciated his teachings! He was an angel!

I just learned about Jerry's passing. He was a valuable member of our International Coach Federation chapter. We will always remember Jerry's smile and his Gift of Love cards. I hope that his http://www.thegiftoflove.com/ website can continue his message for many years to come.

Jerry was such a gift to so many of us at Creative Living Fellowship, his beautiful, loving energy is missed and will be missed, eventhough we still "feel" all the love he shared with us.
Blessings and comfort to all who share in the loss of our friend, Jerry.

I have many fond memories of Jerry during my teenage years when he used to come to our house and play monopoly with my sister Sarah and me. He would stay til my sister Madge came home from her date (they were broken up at the time). He was so much fun in his little Anglia( english car) that he would drive us around in. Jerry even then was always "Doing" for others. He helped my mom out with transportation when my dad was in the hospital etc. He was a light in our lives and the end of my sister's life. He will be missed by all. Say hi to her for me Jerry and I'll see you again. You are in my prayers. Liz
