Jerry and I became acquainted at Wilson School in the mid-fifties and maintained that friendship throughout high school and across the years. He taught me a love for classical music and astronomy. I still remember when we double-dated at the prom our Jr year at CHS. In more recent years, we visited on the phone several times a week. Jerry was a terrific best-of-friends who will be greatly missed. My condolences to all his family and specially to Sheila, whom he loved dearly.
Thank you girls for taking care of Jerry. He was my friend at Carey and then we found each other again at the school reunions. Treasure of memories of time spent with him and his unique personality!! Estella Wyatt Rich
