He was born in Long Beach, Long Island, N.Y. He left behind his loving wife, Kathy, and dogs who were his best buddies, Sundance and Shadow. He also left behind his mom and dad, Linda and Gerald Weir, of Peconic, N.Y.; his grandma, Geneva Nassivera of Hudson Falls, N.Y.; his sister and brother-in-law, niece and nephew, Dori and Kris and Kaylin and Joshua Henning of Maine; sister and brother-in-law and niece Laura and John and Abigail Bolliver of Southold, N.Y.; and our dear friends Gloria and Vincent of Long Pond, our neighbors and friends and his co-workers.
Jerry was an electrician in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York areas. He touched a lot of lives. He left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He was known as the wise guy, always trying to make people laugh. He had a wonderful life. He was a loving and caring husband and friend. He will be greatly missed.
He was laid to rest on Jan. 19, in Holy Rood Cemetery in Westbury, N.Y. In lieu of flowers, send donations to Kathy Weir, HC 62 Box 69, Long Pond, PA 18334-9724.
A message from his wife: Jerry, I love you and miss you so much. Our love was like no other. My love for you is deeper than the deepest ocean and bigger than the great blue sky. Even though you are gone, my love for you will never change. You are my best friend forever, today and always. I know you will look down upon us and help us move on and guide me and help me be strong. May your life in heaven be peaceful. Rest now. Until we meet again, my love, you are always in my heart and soul forever. We will always be one in our hearts. Your loving wife, Kathy.

Dear Kathy: Even though I've talked to you several times since Jerry's passing (which I still can't believe) I haven't written because I really don't know what to say....but you know how I feel. Jerry and I were so close a one time ..You know I loved him like a brother. It's not fair what happened. You know I'm here for you if you need me. If you need a best friend..I'm here. (You can stop crying..I know you are!) I know Jerry would be happy how you and I have connected this past month. Please try stay strong..but I'm here if you need me...you and Jerry are always in my heart and in my prayers. I'll speak to you and and see you soon.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Jerry as well as I would have liked being that I am a distance away. I can say that all the memories I do have are of a man that was dedicated to a good life with his wife and dogs, his family. Jerry worked hard to have all that he could for his family, making all the days of their lives as happy and meaningful as possible.
I remember Jerry's good nature and the way he always looked out for the people he cared about.
Jerry showed an understanding and compassion for those around him. I appreciated how Jerry treated me and how he made me feel welcomed and always remained impartial when there was a question or concern. He was a fair and decent person.
I will miss his sense of humor and the fun we used to all have. Things were never dull with Jerry around.
Kathy - the years with Jerry were not long enough, however the years you did have were wonderful and happy. You both were there for eachother and stuck by eachother through the good times and hard times. You will always have those cherished memories to hold in your heart and may they comfort you as the days go on.
I send you my love, blessings and prayers.
your forever friend, Teresa

Dear Kathy,
We were so shocked and saddened to hear the news about Jerry.
When I think about all the fun things Jerry and I shared together as little kids, a smile comes on my face.
As the years went on our lives got so busy but I always knew I had a special childhood friend. I was so grateful that you and Jerry came to my wedding in New York City---you both seemed so happy together.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong 'cause we all know that's what Jerry would want you to do.
Love,
Chris Geraci & Family

Jerry, I will always remember your warm smile and the mischievious twinkle you had in yours eyes since you were a little boy.
You were one of the sweetest, warmest, most sincere people I have ever known.
Jan, Richie and I will always hold the childhood memories we have of you in our hearts.
Kathy, I know this is a long and difficult road. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.

I am deeply sorry for your loss as I remember Jerry as a great guy who always tried to make us laugh. I grew up down the block from him and he was a good friend of mine. He will be missed and remembered as a great person.

Jerry - a regular and funny guy; a dedicated and supportive friend; a talented, creative and hard working professional; and a loving husband to Kathy and best buddy to Sundance and Shadow - will continue to impact our lives. We are better for having shared a friendship with this humble and compassionate man.

Jerry was a great employee, friendly, outgoing, courteous, consciencious, and an all around good person. We will miss him personally and professionally.

Jerry you were (are in my mind) a sole-mate to my big sister, your laugh was infectious, your passion for you wife was out of this world and your whit definitely fit this family well. My heart sank when I found out that you had become an angel that will watch over Kathy and the dogs. You will be missed dear brother, you will be missed.

Kathy, Please accept my deepest sympathy in your time of sorrow. Jerry was a dear friend to me through the years. Although we may have not kept in touch as often as we would have liked, I always knew that I could call and just pick up where we left off last. I have fond memories of when we were friends in school. He always made me laugh and always looked out for me as if he were my "big brother". I will miss his laugh and am sorry that I was unable to say goodbye. I hope you can be comforted by knowing how may lives Jerry has touched and by how many people knew and loved him.
