My deepest sympathies to Jerry and Linda's family. They were both beautiful people. We played pool together on my pool team back in 2007. Jerry was one of the best players in the league. I had such respect for both of them. They will be missed.

I can’t believe that it has been over 2 years since Jerry and Linda passed away. I tried to leave my thoughts here several times but found it too painful to face the reality that they are both gone. They are the kindest and most loyal friends that one can have and I miss them very much. RIP Jerry and Linda. I will always cherish the memories of the times that I was lucky enough to have spent with you guys.

Dr. Lin was gentle, kind, and really cared about his patients and their families. Many of us will never forget him.

Dr. Lin and Dr. Lu were two of the best people I know. They loved their work, their family and people. It is so heartbreaking not to have them in our lives anymore. My heart goes out the their family and friends who must endure this loss that is even overwhelming to those of us who only saw them once or twice a year. I pray for their sweet child.

I'm devastated!!!!
Why this family ?????????
Dr Jeryy and Dr Lu the sweetest most caring people in the right business taking care of us. Omg!!!! He saved me many times. His staff the greatest people he had an amazing office and we all felt it Dr Herry took over my dentists office when he retired and I thought oh damn I've gotta train a new dentist But Dr Jerry and Dr Lu understood me and made me comfy at my visits. I'm going to my appt tomorrow and I can't wait to hug the beautiful staff and give them support and Love!!!❣
Know how much you ALL meant to me
RIP my angels

My deepest and my most sincerest condolences to the Dr. Jerry Lin and Linda Lu's family, especially their little boy Preston. Linda Lu was my dentist first about 6-7 years ago and then we both were pregnant and Jerry Lin took over. Such wonderful people and very professional. Dr. Jerry Lin worked on my children's teeth and was always so honest. He always greeted me so kindly and asked how my son was doing because he remembered his wife and I being pregnant at the same time. I am truly going to miss them.

My deepest condolences as my heart goes out to the families, colleagues, especially little Preston. Drs Jerry and Linda were my Dentists for the past three years and even won over my youngest brother who before was not a fan of the Dentist. They were some of the kindest people and I'm grateful to have known them. Jerry and Linda, thank you for your expertise, but especially for your friendship.

I am devastated. Jerry, my mentor, taught me how to play pool. We played on the same teams. He taught me confidence, respect, skills. Jerry believed in my ability to learn and succeed. Linda was so kind. We spent many hours chatting and she played pool on our team once. I had such respect for her accomplishments. They both had hearts of gold. My deepest heartfelt condolences and prayers to their entire families.

Our heart goes out to Dr. Lin and Dr. Lu's family. There are no words to help heal the pain and loss of 2 individuals known to bring SMILE in all of our lives.
We started treatment under Dr. Lin since our son was Preston's age. Dr. Lin not only treated our family but many friends as well. Every visit to his office was truly memorable with super friendly staff and his special treatment with all individual patients.
My husband always complimented Dr. Lin's dental skills that made us comply with our routine visit.
The couple really took care of the clinic, staff and patients.
Preston I hope you remember all great memories you had with your parents. We all know that they loved you very much.
May they Rest In Peace.

My family has been going to Dr. Lin for many years. Some of them saw his wife, and some of us got him. He treated us with such compassion and professionalism, we actually enjoyed our visits. He would always ask about my family and grandkids every time. He gave me expert advice & service. The office staff was like a family. We are shocked & stunned! He was by far the best dentist I ever had. We will miss him so much!! RIP Dr. Lin & Dr. Lu . We love you and will continue praying for the family. Jeanette Henderson & family

My husband and I are still in shock at the tragic loss of Dr Lin and Dr Lu. We have gone to Dr Lin since he took over Dr Moorehead's practice and he has been a great dentist and a friend. He cared for my elderly parents and Aunt with so much kindness and always made our visits pleasant. We would always laugh about our "family visits" when 3 or 4 of us came together to see Dr Lin and Dr Lu. We loved sharing stories about Preston and our grandson. Preston, your parents loved you so much and were so proud of you. They will always be remembered as kind and caring people as well as excellent dentists. Our sincere condolences to all family members. Praying for all of you as you grieve your loss.

I was deeply saddened today of the tragic news of Dr. Lin and Dr. Lu's passing. I've had the pleasure of working with Dr. Lin
for the past 15 years as his laboratory dental technician. He was a caring dentist and individual, always displaying his trademark smile and laugh. I was in his office almost daily, and got to know his friendly staff. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and staff, your will be greatly missed.
Rest in Peace. Larry Streitman and Donna Giovannitti

My sincerest condolences go out to both his family and his wife's family and especially their little boy . Dr. Lin was not just my dentist, he was a friend. I was his patient before he opened his office in Northridge, he let me make small payments because I was unemployed then I met Dr. Lu when she started to work for him. He was the happiest man when he had his son and I know that he will grow up to be a great man like his father. He was my kids dentist since they were 3 and 4 years old and now they are 25 & 26. May them rest in peace and in God's glory.

Dr. Lin & Dr Lu were both our dentists for more than 14 years at his Burbank practice. They were not only wonderful human beings, but great professionals too. They loved their little boy. This is such a tragedy ......we are so sorry for both families & grieve with them.

Dr. Lin replaced Dr Moorehead many years ago. We were unsure of the switch, but upon meeting Dr. Lin we were not only relieved but excited to have him as our dentist. This truly was a gentleman and after all these years grew into a trusted friend. We sent him many referrals because of who he was. We never had anyone come back negative, we all loved him. I used to love to hear his thoughts about USC since we were different generation alums. My wife and adult children will miss his laugh. God bless he and his wife and their beautiful son....the Romano family.

Dr. Lin was my dentist. My sincerest condolences go out to both his family and his wife's family and especially their little boy who would be dressed in scrubs at every appt. I had.
Dr. Lin was always funny, a big hearty laugh and very personable. I loved having him as my dentist just because he was a great person. Rest In Peace.

Jerry was a great friend and a mentor to me. I had the pleasure of getting to know him over the years as a teammate from a pocket billiards league, or on other occasions as a formidable competitor. Eventually he became my personal dentist who did fantastic work on my teeth. He was well known in the pool community for both his tremendous skill at the game and his tremendously positive personality. He was an extremely inspirational, warmhearted person who was always willing to help a friend. I'll never forget the numerous occasions I'd see him at the poolhall when I'd go in to practice, and he was at the other end of the room busy coaching the other players on the several different teams he played on. I'd go about my business practicing by myself, not wanting to disturb him at the moment, waiting for a moment to say hello to him later when he was not busy helping others. A lot of times, he would walk over to me and tap me on the shoulder when my back was turned, and proceed to tell me a joke or a funny story. At first I'd usually just chuckle, but it was always his infectious laughter which would soon follow that would almost always have me laughing pretty intensely along with him. He just had that way with people, especially his friends, where he could easily turn a grimace or a frown on my face into the complete opposite. Just small things like that would brighten my day, and I'd end up going home with a smile on my face, rather than feeling frustration on the days where my practice session didn't go so well. I'm having difficulty processing the news of his passing. The world is a lesser place with Jerry gone, though he'll certainly never be forgotten for the positive impact he's had on my life, and undoubtedly many others. I feel grateful to have known him. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace my friend.
