I think of you often Uncle Jerrold and wish we had more time together. I often beat myself up for taking life for granted! I truly understand what it means to live life to the fullest, because tomorrow is not promised. The days are long, and life is too short! You are missed tremendously and will never be forgotten! Enjoy your party in heaven! You are loved! Look, Desja graduated from High School!

Happy Birthday My Man
To all I say, in the past ten plus years, I have not even come close to meeting anyone like Jerrold. I often think of our life together. When others give eulogies of their lost ones what they say doesn't come close to what I feel in my heart about Jerrold. But this is not a day for sorrow but a day to celebrate. Jerrold loved to party so all lets party.
HAPPY 64 JERROLD.

Yesterday was Desja's 18th birthday. Jerrold's future Champ.
You would be busting out with pride on her growth into a beautiful young women. I think today what might have been?' Over the past eleven years I have had difficulty coping with your untimely passing.
I cannot image what lingering memories Desja has of that morning when she said to me Papa not wake up. Growing up shuffled from home to home she has been able to overcome an often unstable environment to now start out on her own. I believe the loving home you and I were fortunate to provide contributed to her ability to survive. It's now up to her to decide her future. Be assured Jerrold, I will be there for her as long as I can. Following in Desja's words is what she had to say on her birthday.
"Robert
I can't explain how much you mean to me . Is was shocked to see what you sent me But I thank god I have you in my life I tried to message you a few times asking for your number because I have so much to tell you . I'm glad you are here and I'm glad to call you my family . Once I get your number Im calling you because I miss you so much . I wish you were here on my bday so I could have spent the day with you but I'm blessed your just here knowing that you care and low me very much Im so sorry I've been not in contact lately but i promise it wasn't on purpose . I love you Robert so much and I hope to see you very soon and always know you are always in my heart no matter what Papa would have been proud of both of us just wish he was here to see how much we both have grown . .

Robert. You don't know me and I don't know if Jerrold ever told you about me. I have been away from the skating world for many years and lost all contact with my skating family until recently. I have looked for Jerrold several times over the last couple years with no luck. I just found out about his passing. I want you to know I loved your man dearly. We were best friends back in the 70's and used to go dancing all the time. I remember he owned a little ice cream shop in Berkley. I am sitting here crying and I don't cry. Please accept my deepest and most sincere heartfelt sympathy for your loss. It was everyone's loss. I can tell by your posts that you loved him dearly. I'm glad he found that kind of love. Not all of us do. Did he go peacefully? I hope so. Jan Betz

Christmas 2014
As I sit in here in sunny warm Florida I think of Christmas past with you in the cold winter snow of northern California. Out time together. A week away from the everyday routine of work, survival and catering to others. The dogs, cats and Desja with us all made it very special. Just family. Yes, no question about it, I would rather be there now in the cold winter snow with you.
All my Love Robert

As I sit here after Thanksgiving with my Florida Family I think about Thanksgiving days of the
past. All in all this day went with no stress.
However pleasant this Thanksgiving was it only reinforced what Thanksgiving of the past with Jerrold was. The memories. Maybe some of you out there can remember the Thanksgiving Days with Jerrold. I do and I miss them.

October 29, 2014 ten years have passed. A lot has changed.
What has not changed is my Love for my Man.
Not a day ends that I do not think about what might have been.
July 17, 1978, the night we meet, I did not Love Jerrold that night. Passion, desire, want yes. I experienced all this physically that first night with a very passionate Man. The passion ebbed and surged over the years. The Love grew slowly over the weeks, months and years as I grew to know Jerrold. For twenty-six years in my mind and heart Jerrold was my Man. When I say this I do not intend to exclude anyone who may believe that Jerrold was also their man. That was Jerrold, open to all. I can only speak for myself. Only I can express how I feel. Others can form their own opinion.
For 20014 and beyond I am grateful that Jerrold has left me with his numerous friends and an increasing California family. Thank you Jerrold. You have my Love forever.

In Loving Memory of
Jerrold Bradley
June 21, 1951 – Oct. 29 2004
Memories. So many forgotten, so many remembered. Jerrold's sister Judy and the Mom of Sidney, Jeanette and Lynette passed away this year. The last of the Bradley Family. Sidney, Desja, Jeanette, Lynette and yes Robert along with other family members, will keep the memory of Jerrold and Judy alive forever. To Kyisha and the boys Jerrold would make you part of the family as soon as he meet you. I wish you could have known him.
To the skating community who knew or met Jerrold during his thirty-five year commitment to the world of roller skating take a minute to remember him.
Love Robert

I ran across a memoriam in the paper on Monday (10/28/13) and was happy to see a picture of Jerrold. It brought back so many fond memories of my time with him. Jerrold was my coach at Cal Skate long ago and what I remember most about him was his passion for skating. He pushed me harder even when I wanted to give up, and because of that, I know I can do anything if I keep trying. That was the best gift he could have ever given me. I am forever in debt to him for that. I know he is greatly missed by all who have known him, especially Robert and the rest of his family. I will always remember his passion, determination, love for life and family, and of course his smile. He truly lit up a room with his inner light. There will always be a special place in my heart for him.

Sidney and family I am so sorry for the loss of this very special man. Sid, I was trying to find you on google and pulled up the very sad news that your Uncle Passed away. I remember all the stories and kind things you had to say about him....but I never knew you skated with him too! Again I am so very sorry for your loss. If you would like to catch up send me an email at [email protected] you were a very dear friend.

Christmas Vacation
Robert D'Ambrose
July 17, 2013
This is an old event worth repeating.
July 17, 1978, late on a Monday night, after a movie, two men meet on Market Street in San Francisco. A Black Man and a White Man. From two different cultures.
A phone call, an invitation to a home cooked dinner, from the Black man to the White Man. The White Man accepts. They talk, they get to know each other. They are no longer just a black Man and a white Man. They are Jerrold and Robert. They slowly become a committed, loving, caring sharing couple. They now and forever are Jerrold and Robert. They share a life together for 26 years. They are Jerrold and Robert.
Jerrold and Robert had all the problems of a couple in a loving committed relationship. Sickness, death, financial and legal while raising two children. Jerrold and Robert had 26 years filled with experiences most couples don't get to enjoy. They vacationed all over Northern California, Monterey, Bear Mountain, Tahoe, Reno, Las Vegas, Vancouver, Mexico, Hawaii, Texas, New York and other places long forgotten. They attended plays, concerts, musicals and sporting events. The Fairmont in San Francisco was one of their favorites. They dined at the finest restaurants as well as the fast food chain restaurants equally. They partied and went on weekend camping trips with friends. They did what all “NORMAL STRAIGHT” couples do. They were not weird or a threat to society or to anyone's way of life. Today Robert wish is that Jerrold was physically with him, however Jerrold will always be in Robert's heart. Robert has his family and friends to share his life with Jerrold. Robert will not be alone on this their 35th Anniversary.

Uncle Robert, each memory was such a joy to read. Especially, the explanation of a true Gemini. I'm overjoyed by the fond memories we all share. However, I still never imagined him being gone so soon. Often times, I keep to myself when it comes to this devastating loss. I get the courage to express my sadness and void & now I'm in tears!! These tears are not of happiness, although I'm happy to have been apart of his life. I don't believe his job was done here on earth. I often ask why. A question mark will always remain. Why did my uncle depart this life so soon? Happy Birthday Uncle Jerrold! Us Gemini's Rock!!

Jerrold is brought into existence.
On Jerrold's birthday, for the past eight years, I have written about my Love for Jerrold and our life together. This year on what would have been Jerrold's 62 second year I will write about Jerrold the Man I knew. We were together 26 years, half his life. I knew him, not all of him, no one could. Others who knew him can expand on the Man Jerrold.
Jerrold was a true Gemini. He was a good conversationalist, inquisitive, intelligent and logical. A loving man, a generous man, a compassionate man and a talented man. As a Gemini Jerrold was a complex man with more than one personality making it difficult to figure out which personality he displayed at any given time. Jerrold was a man you would like to know. Jerrold was the friend you wish you had.
The picture above is the Jerrold the MAN I did not know.
Smile Man
High School Graduation. Handsome teenager. Smile that he displayed all his life.

Cal Skate Parking Lot
A very tired Jerrold about to coach his next student in their lesson.
He is holding his right side from the pain of numerous falls he had taken over the years in practice jumps. He was looking into the possibility of hip replacement surgery. The Pro that he was he went into the rink, smiled, and gave his all in the lesson. Love always Robert.

Christmas Day 20012
Snow in the Sierra today. Lake Tahoe reporting a high of 31° with snow. We would be in a cabin with Jerrold preparing Christmas dinner. No Black, no Mike, and no Julie but other pets this year would have made new Christmas memories. Memories of past Christmas days are still numerous and still strong.
Desja remember this picture taken at Universal in August 2010. Papa Jerrold should have been with us, it would have been just after Nationals, you would have been Singles Nationals Champion. I know because Papa would have made it so. You do not have him here physically but you do have him here spiritually. His light shines on. Look deep into your heart and pull out the good that is there. Seek help from those around you who love you. We cannot predict the future but only you can determine what kind of future that future life will hold for you.
All who read this remember and think about the very special person Jerrold was, they are very rare.
Unconditional Love

Watching the T.V. Show "Make it or Break it" has sure brought me back to my skating days and having you as a coach. I understand so many things that I didn't understand then. Now taking care of my teenage sister I realize how much sacrifice, care and love adults really put into the youth. When we are young we just don't fully realize it. Thank you for truly caring about me and putting up with me all those years and you were right, " the little things are the big things." I miss you.

2004 is a year I'll never forget. So far, it's the worst years of my life. With everything that took place in that year, is it safe to say the best is behind me?? I often wonder, to have such a painful year what do I have to look forward too??? My heart knows how much I miss Matthew, Demorea and Uncle Jerrold. If I had one wish, I would bring them all back to ease the pain of so many broken hearts. Uncle Robert, I wish you comfort in your heart. Take care of yourself and come back to California!!! I love you~

Words can't express how I'm feeling or how I feel when I think about you uncle Jerrold. We had are good times and are bad. There were nights when we would talk half the night about things I was going through. I could always count on you to make me feel better. Now that your gone I just hide all my pain, and hurt. I miss you so much. I wish you was still here to talk to me, hold me, and let me no I'm going to be ok. I no your in my dreams just wish you was here in the present. Love you always.

Is there a god?
Jerrold is not in a better place. Jerrold should be with me, his family and friends. It's now eight years later. Jerrold was too young. It's just not right. The world has changed so much over the past eight years. Jerrold would say for the good. I would agree but he should have been here to experience the changes. I can look back on the 26 years of life that I have experienced with Jerrold and can remember. We had lived and experienced the good, the bad and the ugly together. I am so very fortunate to have shared this with a man of such extraordinary character. What would another eight years have brought us I can only surmise. With age my memories will fade. Those of you who read my words will have to carry these memories for me. My Love is as strong today as it was when we first met.

Traditional Birthday Dinner With Jerrold:
Start with a cocktail-Margarita. Then shrimp coctail. Salad-Caesare. A steak-New York. Add a Lobster. Include vegetables-baked potato, broccoli, maybe cauliflower or green beans. Desert-Cheesecake. All this with a fine bottle of Wine. The wine would change from year to year, red to white, white to red. Jerrold and I would be the only two present at these dinners. This was us. Seven years is seven years gone by. I will have some wine today, red this year, to remember these special occasions. Please remember Jerrold in your own special way.
Love Forever, Robert

Sixty years. What would Jerrold be like as a sixty year old man. Not much different than when we met in 1978 and he was twenty-seven. At that young age he was athletic, funny, friendly, forgiving, talented, caring, compassionate, generous and loving. A good looking masculine man who did have a soft side. I had over twenty-six years to experience all these qualities. These are the memories that have sustained me these last six plus years. His love for me was and is unquestionable. For those who knew Jerrold remember him and live by his example. I will carry on this day our birthday tradition with memories of birthdays past. My Love for Jerrold is forever.
Love Robert

Someone who loves them unconditionally, takes care of them in the way Jerrold took care of me and loved me the way Jerrold loved me. For today, tomorrow and the rest of my life I will have and remember Jerrold. My Love continues.

Uncle Jerrold, you are truly missed. You were a 1 of a kind uncle. I couldn't ask for better memories. May you continue to Rest In Peace. I'll have a rum and diet coke in your memory today.
Uncle Robert, I never know the right words to say to you. I do know that life without Uncle Jerrold will never be the same. Take care of yourself. Love you dearly, Lynnette

Another year, now six.
My love and heartfelt thanks go out to Jeanette and Lynnette for updating and adding family events and pictures to this memorial to Jerrold. It's good to know someone will continuour family history long after I am no longer able too.
Six long years, years that slip by, life goes on but never the same without Jerrold. What Jerrold added to our lives can never be replaced, only remembered. Today I remember. Love in the past, love now and love forever for the man who was and is Jerrold.
