So sad to just hear of the loss of Jerry.  I would have payed respects earlier if I knew.  Jerry's kindness will be rememered and missed.

Dear Sandra:

Living away from central Ontario, I only recently learned of Jerry's passing. It is with fond memories only that I remember Jerry. I was in his first cohort of CBT-ers at the U in 2007 and still have all of his notes. He instilled in me an appreciation for the integration of all therapies and to be open-minded about the different pathways through which people change. He most certainly made me a better psychologist for having known him. 

With sincere condolence and warmest thoughts,

To Sandra,
We too were shocked to read belatedly of Jerry's death.  We wanted to reconnect with both of you so checked the U of Windsor website, and found the sad news.  Our deepest sympathy, Sandra, we'll be in touch.

Just heard the news today from a patient's friend in Windsor, who I referred to Jerry.  Jerry and I attended graduate school together and he was a great support to me and helped me stay grounded during a very difficult time.  Truly, one of the kindest men I have ever met.  I am sorry we had lost touch over the past (hard to believe...) 20 years and was looking forward to reconnecting and glad to have someone in Windsor to whom I could refer patients with absolute confidence and trust.  My thoughts are with Sandra (another of the really good people of the world) and all of Jerry's family and friends.  So sad.

To Jerry's wife and family:
Am truly stunned to have just heard of Jerry's passing... he helped me deal with many difficult issues and I truly looked forward to our sessions, as I knew I would leave with positive tools to continue coping. He would often lend or recommend helpful reading material along with encouraging words. I will miss him.
My sincerest condolences,  may Jerry rest in peace.

Hi Sandra:
Pete and I are so sorry. Yes, as so many others have said, what a gentle, kind, calming presence he had! You are in my thoughts.

Dear Sandra and family - I am so sorry to hear about Jerry's passing. I worked with Jerry when he was at Vanier Children's Services in London. He was a wonderful colleague and dear friend. My sympathies are with you and your family at this time.

Dr. Jellis was one of the kindest and most supportive professors I've been fortunate enough to learn from. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his loss. My thoughts are with Dr. Paivio and the rest of the family. He will be dearly missed.

To all the family, I feel very privileged that I had the opportunity to work with Jerry at Psychological Services when he was teaching cognitive behavioral therapy.  He was a very kind man and I am all the better for knowing him.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Sandra and all the family.

I will miss your memory Dr. Jellis; especially the moments of you tending to the office plants with great care and patience. May you continue to search for peace. My sincerest sadness for your loss, Dr. Paivio.

Sandra - Mike and I were very saddened and shocked to hear this news. Jerry was a truly wonderful, caring and warm person who touched the lives of many. We send our deepest condolences and supportive thoughts your way during this difficult time.

Dr. Jellis was an amazing man and psychologist, he had an amazing spirit and a gift for reaching people in a special, healing way.  He will be greatly missed and always remembered.  The world is a better place because of him and my life and that of many others have been forever touched and changed by him.

Dr. Jellis was one of the most encouraging, understanding, and inspiring professors I've had. The next generation of psychologists will be better for having him as a teacher. So very sorry about your loss.

From a more personal perspective I remember Jerry well with great fondness. He was a wonderful person whose gentleness,  compassion, intelligence and caring was a model to others and a boon to this world.

Though we hadn't met personally I often referred patients to him solely based on the accolades of others demonstrating his empathy and dedication to the profession and his patients. He will be missed by many.

Jerry was a king and compassionate man.  I am sorry for your loss Sandra.

Jerry was extremely gifted. He made my husband and I feel like friends not patients. He has impacted our lives like nobody else could. His death has devastated and shocked us. Sorry for the loss.

To the family,
 Jerry was one of my first clients and I always looked forward to his next visit because we always had great conversations. He always had a smile on his face; he will be missed. My sincere condolences.
