Jerry was an amazing friend who shared his wisdom with me every time he came into work I knew I was gonna learn something new. Jerry taught me about the highwaymen and their stories and he loved painting and surfing and playing his guitar and he just was so full of life. I know when I come into work, I´m going to see Jerry smiling from ear to ear saying hi to everyone and showing me the paintings he did the prior weekend or the painting he bought he loved those things. Jerry was very special to us, and he will forever be missed - your friend Jenn

Jerry was a really good guy and always found a way to make people smile. He taught me a lot and was always there when I needed advice. He was talented, interesting and just a fun guy. I´m really going to miss him, and I know many others will as well.

Ever since I can remember, Jerry picked up our lab specimens. He was always a ray of light in an otherwise ordinary day. He tried very hard to get me interested in golf. Later, he became very enthusiastic about surfing. He loved showing us pictures of his adventures. I am very sorry to learn of his passing. He will be missed.
