"Big Jer," as Neal lovingly referred to you, we all loved and respected you so much. I will never forget you and all of the advice you gave me. I remember the time you gave the "J-crew" a ride in your convertible and the time you invited us to your home fir No. 1 Chinese food. You were one of a kind and you made a lasting impact on my life. I will never forget you.

Just saw this after all these years. Jerry and Neal Bandlow were my journalism professors at SUNY Morrisville. Best two human beings I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. My time at Morrisville was best of my life. Thanks for making me a better student and person. God bless you and your family.
