Jerry was a good friend. I could count good friends on my ten fingers. They are rare in life. They come through sharing life together, its ups and downs, trials, and memories of all the good times together. He was a meticulous person artistically gifted. He was good hearted. My thoughts are with all the family.

I used to service Mr. Coleman's Xerox printer. He was always such a kind and gracious person, and every time I was there to fix an issue on that old Phaser 7800 he would thank me over and over again, just for doing my job. I remember a time when I was reloading the software on the device (something that takes 45 minutes and involves a lot of waiting) he pulled out some books and showed me some of his work, told me stories about the individual jobs, and such.
He was a wonderful person. I had wondered why we hadn't heard from him lately. I'm going to miss him. He was one of my favorite customers.

Jerry will be greatly missed by everyone in the Jennng High School class of 1961. He was such a big part of our class reunions, producing two complete books that included updates on the lives of classmates since graduation and also memorials for classmates who have passed. We were so fortunate to have Jerry attend our 60-Year reunion in 2021 after putting together materials for the special occasion. He was a special gift to our class.
