How fortunate we were, his Newton High Senior Class to have had a special time to visit with Jerry at our class reunion the end of Sept 2016. He was busy helping and assisting the committee throughout the events, friendly to all with a smile on his face. I have known him since we were in the third grade and enjoyed hearing of his many accomplishments throughout the years.
My sincere sympathy is with his family, especially his sister, Joyce, at this time of sorrow. He will be missed by many friends and classmates. It was an honor to have been his friend.

Jerry Donaldson was a "white hat" at the FBI. Fair to all employees. I was lucky to be one of his employees and have counted him as a friend ever since the 1980s.
Thank you for sharing him with us. Teresa joins me in expressing our sympathy to you and your family.
