Jerry was a wonderful and kind man. I have many fond memories of him, Gail, Danny, Emily and Adam at Har HaShem. One of my favorite memories of Jerry is the day he took time just before Rosh Hashanah to bring his shofar to my office at Har HaShem. I was hired just weeks before Rosh Hashanah and Jerry knew that, not being Jewish, I most likely had no idea about the shofar. He was right. He explained the commandment to me and then he blew the traditional blasts identifying each blast -- this is Tekiah, this is Shevarim and so on. I was amazed!
Jerry was the official Har HaShem shofar blower for adult services and children’s services. The children always looked forward to seeing him. In my 30 years with Har HaShem, I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. May his memory be for a blessing.

Jerry and Gail always welcomed in their home like a part of the family. I am so grateful to have known Jerry, and my heart aches for the Sloats and for the Boulder community. Thank you, Jerry, for your kindness, quick wit, counsel, and for my best friend, Emily.

Uncle Jerry:  Your love and wisdom will be sorely missed. I enjoyed our conversations about the family and the law and you were always there to support me when I needed you.  Your laugh resonates in my ears and your kindness will forever remain in my heart.  I love you very much.   My heart aches for Gail, Adam, Emily and Danny and I am praying they find comfort in knowing how much you were loved by your family and your community.

We are so sad to hear of Jerry’s passing and send much love to all of you. We have so many happy memories of sharing time with all of you. Our hearts go out to you  May his memory be a blessing to you all.

So sad to learn of Cousin Jerry’s passing?  You are all in my thoughts. 
Janet Sue Schwartz Kraft

We will so miss his presence on the High Holidays with his strong and beautiful blowing of the Shofar
