TO THE FAMILY OF JERRY, & TO HIS BROTHER BILL, I WAS A FRIEND OF JERRY'S IN FLORIDA. I HADN'T SEEN HIM IN AWHILE, & ONLY LEARNED OF HIS PASSING TODAY, NEARLY A YEAR, SHY OF 1 DAY LATER. I WAS DEEPLY SADDENED TO HERE THIS NEWS. I WAS WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ON MEMORIAL DAY ABOUT THE KOREAN WAR, & REMEMBERING THAT JERRY SERVED IN THAT WAR, I GOOGLED HIS NAME.. & CAME ACROSS HIS TRIBUTARY ON THIS LINK. MY DEEPEST SYMPHATHY & CONDOLENCES, ALTHOUGH BELATED. JERRY WAS A DEAR, GENTLE, SWEET & KIND SOUL TO ME. HE OFFERED HIS HOME & SUPPORT TO ME DURING SOME HORRIFIC TIMES IN MY LIFE MANY YEARS AGO, & WILL NEVER FORGET THAT. WE WOULD CHAT FOR HOURS ON HIS LINAI ABOUT MUCH, BOTH HIS LIFE & MINE. HE HAD SUCH A SWEET & CALM DISPOSITION, A GREAT LISTENER, STORY TELLER, A HEARTY LAUGH, & A HEART OF GOLD. WHEN IT CAME TO HIS "LEGAL PROBLEMS", I "KNEW HE WAS FALSELY ACCUSED,", & HE FORGAVE THOSE WHO FALSELY TRESSPASSED AGAINST HIM WITH A TRUE HEART, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE WAS. A TRUE HEART! I WAS SORRY WE LOST CONTACT THE LAST FEW YRS, AS I WAS, & REMAIN WORKING TOO MUCH, & I'M SO SORRY FOR THAT. I KNEW HE WAS IN BAD HEALTH FOR AWHILE, & HE SAID TO ME THAT HE WAS JUST GETTING TIRED. WELL, NOW HE IS AT REST, IN THE LIGHT & LOVE OF GOD, & HIS NEW JOURNEY HAS BEGUN.. I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM, EVER, & HOPE TO SEE HIM AGAIN ONE DAY. MY DEEPEST RESPECTS TO JERRY'S FAMILY. I MET BILL & HIS WIFE ONCE, & IF THEY READ THIS, PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK. PLEASE FORGIVE MY LATE RESPONSE. I LOVED JERRY VERY MUCH, ALWAYS WILL. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES, LAURIE ANDERSON.
