It's been 10 years since you went to that beautiful garden where you could watch ballet all the time and meet all of those people you read about all the time. I miss you every day. I miss your laugh so much. I will always love you.

It has been 8 months since Jerry left this world and I feel the loss every day but am thankful he had the caring friends and coworkers he had. I find myself wanting to call him and tell him things that happen in my life all the time. I know they say the loss gets easier after awhile, but I haven't been able to reach that place yet.

I felt Jerry's spirit in the Opera House while enjoying a wonderful SF Ballet performance a few days ago! We met there & share a deep passion for art! His experience & history with the genre was astounding. I'll miss his gentle intelligence & kind heart. I know nobody like him so he will always be precious to me.

Jerry was a thoughtful colleague and a generous friend. He was also extremely funny. He'd get away with saying the naughtiest things because he had these great big dimples and he'd just look so innocent. We shared a fondness for Mexico. Vaya con Dios Amigo, Diana

Jerry was a classmate at hayti in 65 and a good friend. We lost contact in earlier years and I chaired the reunion for our class a few years back and since then we stayed in touch . I am truly to hear of his passing

One of the most wonderful people I have come across in my life. I worked wtih Jerry for several years at Marin Communit Foundation and loved every minute of it. Jerry had a wicked sense of humor and was great at telling you exactly what he thought. There was nobody in the world quite like him and there never will be again. Rest in peace my friend.
