I worked with Jerry in the early 2000’s and he was one of the best people I ever worked with . I suddenly thought about him today and wondered what ever happened to him. I was very sad to see he passed. I missed many days sharing laughs with him.

From the management and staff of the Holiday Trav-L-Park campground in Virginia Beach, we would like to express our sincere condolences to Jerry’s family and many friends. We have had the pleasure of hosting his and close friend’s annual oyster roast for the last 20 plus years. Jerry was always easy and fun to work with and had a great personality. We will miss him, god bless!

Jerry was joy for me. I loved talking to and being with Jerry as much as anyone I have ever known. We worked together for years and remained close friends after I left the company. His nickname to me was Jerrissimo, with the “R’s” rolled. A phone call or visit with Jerry always left me feeling happier and more relaxed and I cherished those calls. There were many things we loved to talk about, namely his row boating, family vacations to Hatteras (I actually visited him one day during his trip several years ago), how Jeanie is doing, his annual oyster roast (that I was never able to attend), memories of his weekly visits to the lynnhaven pub ( I only joined him once there and actually brought shrimp and scallops that he had the cook make for us to eat), but I was jealous of his consistency. I really think that was one of Jerry’s greatest attributes, he was consistent with everything he did, work, friends, work mates, family and loved ones. He was always there for you and I miss him so much.

Time stood still for a moment when I learned of Jerry’s death, my mind paused, trying to comprehend it. I had very little contact with Jerry in the past 30 years, and yet there it was; a tremendous feeling of loss and sorrow, an absence that was not there moments ago.
In the following days, long dormant memories awakened and flooded my thoughts; the Greenleaf Dairy delivery truck, countless hours of ping-pong, Skip Castro, Buffet and Charlie Daniels, trips to the beach cottage, sledding on Enon School hill, nights at the Anchor Room, roof parties, and some alleged mischievous behavior.
Jerry was my best friend back in those days. I have come to realize that, despite living our separate adult lives, no amount of time or distance could loosen the bond of our friendship or cloud the memories forged by the childhood experiences Jerry and I shared. I truly cherish them.
My sincerest condolences to Jeanne, Jerry’s mother, family and friends; with you, I will miss Jerry greatly.
