GUEST BOOK

We are very sad to learn of Jerry's passing. We have great memories of our time in Chester, Connecticut with Jeanne, Jerry and kids. Time goes fast and the best intentions are superseded by the fragility of life. So sorry we didn't have more time together. Jerry was an original and brilliant in his profession as a social worker. He was at his best when teaching and lecturing about politics. Mary and Jan (Jake)

Dear family and friends of Jerry. The year, 1989. The city, St. Petersburg AND my son, Jason Evans was introduced to Jerry, via Bill cycling coach. Jerry and his wife were always so kind to me and my son. Jerry was a 'right between the eyes' spokesman and I loved that. I am grateful for the years and events that I was privy to with Jerry and his wife, Jeanne attended. May the peace be with everyone who shared Jerry's world of 'atta boy or atta girl' stuff and may you know that the gentle breeze that one feels on the bicycle or just the walk is the whisper of hugs and love.
