Muy triste la noticia del fallecimiento de Jerry. Esa amistad que hicimos durante los últimos años de colegio, en el Colegio Americano de Quito, fue muy cálida, sincera y tan fuerte que hasta el día de hoy la mantenemos en lo más profundo de nuestro sentimiento.
Recordaremos siempre el retrato que pintaste a Harry Belafonte y tu inmensa obra que fue tan colorida como tu carácter y tu sentimiento.
El flamenco te cautivó siempre, el cante jondo y la música sevillana fueron parte de tu esencia.
Recordaremos siempre las fiestas entre amigos, tan largas, tan agradables y esos traguitos que nos tomábamos juntos hasta que salga "La comadre Aurora" (Hasta el amanecer).
Estás presente y vivo en cada instante de alegría.
Un abrazo muy sentido

Jerry had a tremendous impact on me as an artist. Taught me so many things that I still employ to this day in my art making practice. RIP Jerry, condolences to his family and friends

So very sad to hear this news. I remember Jerry well, and especially his guitar playing when we were kids. Deep condolences from an old family friend.

I first met Jerry in 1969 at KU in the Art Department. Through all the years, he was positive and kind, greeting me and others with true joy. I will miss him along with so very many people around the world. Dean and Anita, I offer you my condolences.

Growing up with Dean, it was always with pleasure and a laugh that I got to see Jerry. I can't think of a single time that being around him I was not happy.
