My condolences to Jerry's family & friends for your loss. Jerry was a co- worker of mine for many years at Mitel. He always worked hard and enjoyed sharing his experience and knowledge with others. We had lots of laughs too. He was quite a character and will be missed.

Jerry worked on my team at Mitel for many years. Hs R&D efforts were great and his efforts were respected by many. It's a shame the world has to lose him but wel'll all follow him eventually.

Goodby Jerry ...

Jerry, we became good friends here at Maplewood. I enjoyed talking with you and appreciated it the day you played my request --"I'll Be Seeing You"- on the piano in the Meditation Room here. I brought you a Valentine's balloon today to surprise you and to tell you that I am moving to Seattle because the man you were wondering about marrying me did ask! I will think of you on my wedding day.
