I am without words!

I always crossed paths with Jerry and his "team" while running in Central Park. For whatever reason, I was always running in the opposite direction!

I met Jerry thru Susanne and Ross.  When I got introduced to him, he made me feel that I had known him for a very long time.  A lovely man, always fun and with a great spirit. 

I will meet you again Jerry  and we will run the Heaven's Marathon together with the band!

RIP

Carlos


I was devastated to hear about Jerry's death.  I had known him since junior high when he played the clarinet in the school orchestra and Debbie and I played the piano.  My sincere condolences to Roberta,  Sam, Jaimie, Lauren and Abby.

Truly heartbreaking to hear about Jerry’s passing. When I think of Jerry I just see his big, infectious smile and joyful laugh.  He always had time to help my brother and I with any business or life advice we may have had. Such a generous and loving human being.  I’ll really miss seeing him in New York for our annual dinner during the Open.   I always looked forward to getting his updates on his adventures.  He will always be an inspiration to me to live life to the fullest. Rest In Peace my friend.    


Michelangelo's "Fate of Deep Sleep/Non Sono Morto" reminds me of Jerry's worldview:
"Fate has sent me a deep sleep.
I'm not dead, I just changed rooms.
I live in you, I go into your dreams, forever, 
We, who are united, will always be together.
You think I am dead, but let me comfort you,
I live with a thousand souls,
in the heart of my loved ones with wonderful goals. 
No, I did not go away, 
My encouragement, for your imaginations & dreams, 
will always stay." 
By Michelangelo Buonarotti,	 Rome 1475-1564
(My translation of Michelangelo’s poem for Jerry) 
And never will I forget Jerry's warmth, kindness, dedication and his smile.
This coming Saturday, I'll have a recital  and in Jerry's memory I will play "SMILE" by Charley Chaplin.



We knew Jerry when we lived in Queens. He was a really nice, kind man.

An amazing man who demonstrated how to live and enjoy life . 
 Jerry loved his family, the center of his universe.
