Jerry was well known by a lot of people, and I considered him one of my best friends of all time. Did not see him much after the Paly graduation, but was glad to reunite at the 20th year (the best!) reunion. Was not in the area when he passed, and was very saddened at the news.

Jerome was our neighborhood's James Dean. Leader of The Pack. A Rebel Without a Cause. He was "It". He was our Superman. When I heard of his death, it amazed and crushed me. He was the one you knew would outlive us all. Sad that he is gone.
