Jerry's kindness, good-will, and intelligence will always be remembered. He made a difference in my life and in the community. I'm lucky to have lived next door to him for close to 10 years. I treasure the signed book of his that he gave me.

He was such a good person, with a great sense of humor. I had more in common with him and with his wife than with most of my friends and I am from Spain, Catholic and at least 35 years younger than him...he was an easy going person, 100% common sense, smart and funny...a pleasure to be close to him. He was also a gifted writer. So happy to had the chance to meet and read him. He will be in our memories forever!

Thinking of my old friend Jerry Richard today. He was a man of great ethics and sensitivity, a fine writer, and such a loyal and good friend. His passing has left a great hole in the community.
