Sue and family, so very sorry to read of Jerry’s passing. He was a super neighbour and a really nice man.
He will be missed by many
My best coffee buddy.
Teaching with Jerry was a delight. His travel stories entertained and informed us all because his wit revealed his intelligence. My sympathy to all.
Dear Suzanne, Our hearts ache for you at this very sad time. We are so saddened for the deep loss of dear Jerry. We will always treasure all the fond memories of our happy and fun times together. What a rough few weeks Jerry had to endure…rest in the sweetest peace dear friend, Jerry. We are always here for you, Suzanne xo.
Sue and Family ~ We will miss Jerry and are grateful to have known him. He will be missed but never forgotten. Sending you much love at this sad time. Ann and Tim
Our heart-felt warmth for Sue and the Turner family. Jerry and Sue were teaching colleagues at Valley Heights Secondary School as well as family friends. Enjoyed their company at many parties and on trips. Jerry will always be remembered for the environmental forest he and his students planted on the west bank property of the school, shortly after the opening, fifty years ago.
Our prayers are with you.
Lou, Sue, Lynn and Bill Kociuk.
Sincere condolences Sue….Jerry was much appreciated as a charter staff member at VHSS.

I will always remember Jerry as one of the most generous people I have known. He has given his time and knowledge freely toward awareness of history and past sacrifices. He has been an inspiration and mentor to me. Suzanne, I am truly sorry for your loss.
