Jerry was one of the most gifted men the financial industry of this country has ever seen. No one has been able to replace him. In all his brilliance, Jerry was a very gentle and very modest man. I wish I could have been his friend. I was so impressed by how Jerry endured the trial of his illness with strength and dignity. Jerry was an American of whom we can all be proud. Jerry, I still think about you and I, as do so many others, miss you sorely. Thank you for a life well-lived. May God bless and comfort your family in their loss.

Leslie, I was so saddened to read about Jerry's passing. My heart and prayers go out to you. He was a brilliant, original thinker and a wonderful man. I feel Jerry was instrumental in helping my husband, PQ Wall, get back into the market letter business after his bout with blindness in the '80's by so generously mentioning him in his own newsletter. It was inspirational to both of us and helpful in a very real sense when we began again. I know that he will not be forgotten and will be missed by so many. We both have thought of you often in the passing years and wish you solace during this challenging time. Love, Ellen and PQ Wall

As a business associate for more than thirteen years working with Jerry and Leslie, I am deeply saddened. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my professional and personal life to have had such an opportunity to be associated with The Jerry Favors Analysis. Jerry was a dedicated, scholarly and successful professional. I know Jerry’s legacy and expertise as a market analyst will be present for years to come. His voice and constant presence in our lives at InfoVision,Inc. will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy, thoughts and support are with Leslie, Jerry and Leslie's family and the Jerry Favors Analysis at this time.

To Leslie:

I have been praying for both of you since his passing. I felt I knew Jerry, even though I never met him, and I have been priveleged to get to know you over the years. I always considered Jerry my favorite analyst, and in the investment community, I don't believe there was anyone who covered as many different forms of technical analysis that he did. Jerry taught me so much, it was worth much more than the price I paid. I was deeply saddened by the news, and continue to think about both of you. The fact that someone I never met can impact me in that way speaks volumes about the both of you. He will be missed, but NEVER forgotten.

As a subscriber to Jerry Favors Analysis services for several years, and as one who listened to his voice during his daily market updates, I felt that I knew Jerry personally. Jerry was a gifted and brilliant man. I would have very much liked to have known him personally. I feel that a GIANT HAS FALLEN. There is no one and never will be anyone who can do it like Jerry did it. He will be remembered always with great fondness and admiration. THANK YOU JERRY for all of your professional contributions and for all the help you provided me. But most of all, thank you for being the kind of man that this world needs more of.
