Dear Marcia and Family:
Trish and I offer our most sincere condolances at your loss of Jerry last month. He and I were classmates at both Regis High School and Holy Cross College, and I remember him as always cheerful, and wonderfully sensitive to each classmate with whom he worked or enjoyed sharing time with.
Since the Cross, our paths separated, as so many do during our busy lifetimes, but our Regis classmates thoroughly enjoyed seeing him again, and meeting you, at our 50th reunion in NYC.
Pleaase know that all Jerry's Regis and Holy Cross classmates will retain very fond memories of him, and will keep you all in our prayers.
Trish and Mike Ambrose (Regis '55 and Holy Cross '59)

Jerry was a wonderful man and a pleasure to be around. As co-workers at Smith Barney, a small group of us had the opportunity to have lunch with Jerry frequently over the years. We all have fond memories of those days and will miss him very much.

I only met Jerry once, but have the privilege of teaching his grandson, Andrew. I can tell that he has had quite an impact on Andrew's life. Andrew is an example of a fine young man and a pleasure to teach. Grandpa would be proud. Cami Foreman

Blessings of love and peace to all of you. Uncle Jerry was a devoted Uncle and Godfather who looked after me after my Moms' death, his sister. Always a quick Irish wit and infectious smile, he could tell a story like no one I knew. Heaven has a new angel and he has been reunited with family. Jon and I cannot be there with you, but are there in prayer and spirit. Aunt Marcia, Kathleen, Jay and Brian, we send our love.

Our deepest sympathy to Jerry's family; as he was among the few very high character and quality people that I worked with at Smith Barney. May he rest in God's peace, that he so richly deserves.
