Jerry Anthony Cesario

Uncle Jerry, I’ll never forget all the good times everyone had when we’d all together to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or Sunday meals with the family. Love you, so Rest In Peace, and we’ll all see each other again one day.

Jerry, you were an amazing man with such a kind spirit. I always enjoyed your company and you had a great laugh! Thanks for the times you picked up / dropped off my dad. It was always comforting to know you lived so close to him. You’ll definitely be missed.

i worked with Jerry for the last 9+ years and he and i would talk about our love of baseball and laugh at his difficulty pronouncing some of the citys he would travel to for work like Torrance he would say Terrance . Jerry had a positive attitude to go along with an infectious laugh that will be missed by all . I miss how he woud answer my phone calls with "Hey Chief" .
Thank you for being you Jerry RIP Chief

I'm gonna miss you Jerry who's gonna tell me my work isn't right anymore? Gone to soon my brother.

Jerry you left to soon I'm glad we shared many times together. I was 26 I think when we met and laid tile at your house with Rudy.... may you be in God's glory my brother... see you soon

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Jerry
We loved hanging out with you on Sundays.
They will never be the same.
Miss you

We’re sending our condolences and prayers to your family, Lisa. May the love and joy for life your dad instilled in you bring you comfort until you meet again.

I will miss hanging out with you at all the BBQs. You were so funny and caring. You always asked about my son and you were genuinely concerned. I still can’t believe that you are gone. I am now hooked on the show Below Deck because of you and will always remember watching it with you at one of the BBQs. May you Rest In Peace. Sending lots of prayers to the family!

Please accept my condolences to the entire Cesario family, Angela,Lisa,Michael,Gina Francesca, and all the Grandchildren. It was a blessing that Jerry was able to enjoy the love of his grandkids for many years. May they always remember the love he had for them. Love to all—Angelo

God bless you man

I will miss giving you a hard time and getting it back from you in fun. Our sarcastic banter and your quick wit always left me laughing and I want to thank you for that. Rest in peace, Jerry.

My Dear Childhood Friend Jerry from Astoria New York

Words cannot express how broken hearted I was when I learned of your passing on March 13th, 2022. My friend we shared many memories together from growing up in Astoria NY in the 1970's to reconnecting out in California when I lived out their back in 1980's.

We continued our connection when you made your visits to NY to see your sister Sandra your brother Pat and cousin Dominic. If I'm missing anybody my apologies.

I been to yours and Angela's restaurant in California and both of you treated me like I was part of the family. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was excellent.

Our friendship was always the type where who ever contacted who we would continue like we saw each other yesterday now that connection is gone.

I will miss your text messages during the yearly holidays wishing me and my family good cheer and god blessings. We take those sort of things for granted don't we? Your family and friends will miss you dearly as well!

Until we meet again my friend rest in peace!

Love from your childhood buddy!
Donald D'Aquila

My dear brother, Anthony, your passing will always leave an emptiness in my heart. You were so kindhearted and loving. I will cherish our conversations forever; Almost everyday while you were driving in between stops, you would call me on the phone and call me “fat boy” and I would return your compliments by calling you “chubba wubba”. When you came to visit me you would offer your skills and talents to help me repair my house. As a father and grandfather you would give your heart to everyone, making sure they were all protected. I will miss you my dear brother every single day and one day we will laugh again when we meet again in heaven. I will always love you Anthony. Rest peacefully. - Your brother Pat

Uncle Jerry,
Although your time with us was cut short the connections you made with so many people are everlasting. I believe that part of the reason you were able to fight for so long is that so many people wanted you to remain here with us. I know you were greeted at heaven's gates by your mother and loved ones that you've lost. I'll never forget all of our times together, waking up to you rocking out on the guitar and my dad trying to "harmonize" with you. No matter how bad his singing was you were just happy to be jamming with someone. I think that sums you up best, always making people smile and laugh whether it is from telling jokes, stories, or singing. I've definitely inherited some traits from you, including my sense of humor, and I promise to try my best to make as many people smile here on Earth as you did until I meet you again in Heaven. I love you, rest peacefully.

Jerry was like an uncle to me. He was one of my mom's good friends. I am best friends with his daughter Lisa. I grew spending many holidays with the Cesarios: Christmas, Easter, 4th of July... I dearly miss him. I'm praying for all his kids and grandchildren constantly. Love you all. Love you, Uncle Jerry.

It saddens me that we only knew each other as children, and that was brief, due to my father’s military career. I wish I had known the man that was so honorable, loving and selfless. May you rest easy now in Heaven, Cousin.

Jerry would see me in the garage and scare the bee-gee-bees out of me. We laugh and then begin to talk about but stuff. He would alwaysalways ask about Adam my son. And our family pet. Moca. Which he called him, “Mocala”.

We always give each other hugs when we see each other and hugs when he leaves. Just like a family. Always helping me with small projects at my house. He would be someone I go to get advise. He was my best friend in my eyes. He was like a big brother.

Thank you Jerry for being there for me when I needed you the most. And thank you for not judging me. You a true friend ame brother like to me. I will always remember you no matter what!

Love you bro! And I’ll see you soon in heaven.

Jerry was my trustworthy brother-n-the Lord for over 40 years,the most kind,giving, talented man I've ever known. My family best memories are filled with the Cesarios many visits to Las Vegas.
During my divorce years,Jerry was my anchor
I always had my "Jerry list"waiting for him .
He was always willing to help me n my kids
Unconditionally.
Our phone conversations were a breath of fresh air ,so encouraging n wise.
He loved the Lord,he adored his family.
Our last conversations were about his retirement and his upcoming visits to Idaho .
Even though I'm sad to say goodbye, I look ahead to our reunion in heaven.
For ever,
Julia

Jerry was such a great friend to me for many years. He helped me so much through so many hard times. We had so much fun together. I will and do miss his so terrible! He is with God now and we will all see him soon ❤ God Bless Jerry !

Jerry was a wonderful soul, always beaming with exuberant energy. You couldn’t help but to find yourself smiling in the presence of his free spirit and lust for life. I can still feel his energy when recalling memories of listening to him practice playing his guitar and singing classic songs. He would repeat a verse or chorus as many times as it took to get the sound just right for his audience! My last time chatting with Jerry was at Michael’s wedding, where he was joking, laughing and dancing with his family and friends. Even after years, he was welcoming and warm, we shared in some wonderful conversation about life and of course, his late pet dog, Mocha! It was never a secret that his children were his world, his smile was proudly glowing that night. That’s how I will always remember Jerry, a warm spirited man - happy, singing, and dancing the night away with the people he loved. I feel lucky to have shared in his rich life for a flash of time.

Sending my love to the Cesario family

Jerry was a great person, we will be missed

Uncle Jerry,
Although our time spent together was usually brief, you always left a lasting impression. There was always a smile on your face and you made people laugh wherever you went.
You’re a good man and will be sorely missed by your friends and family.
Rest peacefully. Love you.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Jerry you will be missed. Even though we only saw each other on holidays or family get togethers it was always fun never a dull moment. I miss you little brother and you will always be in my heart. Until we meet again,
Love you
Your sister Dolly

Our hearts and prayers to each of you during this very difficult time. There is no greater loss. I will pray for your comfort and peace in the days, weeks, months and even the years to come. We truly enjoyed Jerry’s company and his warmth and love for his children. He certainly will be missed. May love hold you together. Doug and Jean Jamieson

Jerry, although I knew you for only a few short years, you always had a big smile, a hug and a way that made me feel special. Thank you for the love and warmth and your friendship. To your family, thanks for sharing such a wonderful man with us all. Rest In Peace my friend.

I've only met Jerry once. I remember a good looking and kind man. To the family, thinking of you during this difficult time. My sincere condolences hugs and praying for you all. Carolina.

Jerry, you were more than a brother to me, you were my best friend. We enjoyed countless hours of fun, dinners, singing and family get togethers at my house. I will miss your weekly calls and guitar lessons. You taught me how to be a leader, not a follower. We watched our children grow to have children of their own. They raised their children with love just as we did. I will miss this great man, a loving husband, devoted father, grandfather and my best friend. You lived your life with love and compassion. Rest in peace Jerry.

To my dear brother/best friend,
I will miss you so much especially our calls 4 to 5 times a week. I sometimes reach for the phone to call you and then I realize you are not here to pick up. I will miss our fun times and our laughs, but I will always have the memories of all those good times we had.
You were so caring and had a heart of gold and full of life.
Until we meet again.
With all my love your sister Sandra.❤

Jerry, you transcended the typical brother-in-law relationship to become more of a brother to me. I will miss our guitar-playing sessions with my failed attempts to sing along. Your bigger-than-life personality always puts a smile on anyone's face within talking distance. What you were the proudest of was "La Famiglia." I will never forget the countless number of times you went out of your way to support, and comfort or assist your friends in need. I will miss you, but look forward to the day when we both can pick up where we left off singing your favorite Van Morrison song, "Brown-Eyed Girl." Rest in Peace.

Jerry, you are going to be missed deeply by all of us. You were the life of the party. I will always remember hearing you sing and play your guitar as peaceful as can be. I know your in a better place now singing your heart out in heaven. Thank you for showing us all to find the fun in life. Rest peacefully Jerry.
