Just found out about Jerry's passing. What a loss. My memories of Jerry always had to do with just the right balance of friendship and mischief. Easy going a lot of the time and intense if he needed to be. My condolences to the whole family.

I'm so sorry for his passing. Jerry was a classmate of mine at Chaparral. He was a super nice guy we all had lots of fun when we were kids. I express my sincere condolences to his family. He used to stop by the Palms to visit and say hello as he passed by. Such a wonderful friend and we will all miss him.

Deepest sympathies to each of you in Jerry's family. Certainly the perpetual and lasting impression of a huge, warm, gregarious laugh and a smile!
I hope and pray that the memory of his humor and a joke he might say now would sustain you in the deepest moments of your memories.
sincerely and warmly,

No one could deliver a line (with a straight face) like Jerry. I can honestly say, high school wouldn't have been the same without him. Jerry was one of a kind.
My deepest sympathies to Jerry's family and friends.

Jerry was always full of life in High School, I can only imagine that wonderful personality continued throughout his much too short life. I can tell by the pictures I have seen of him lately that he was full of happiness and joy. The world is less bright with out his smile in it.
My deepest sympathies and prayers for his family and friends at this sad time.
