I am so sorry to have heard the news today about the passing of this great man. I was fortunate to work at the one and only Tenenbaum hardware for 3+ years in HS. I have great memories and owe much of my success in my career to what I learned under Mr. T and Brian. (and Mrs T too!) May god bless your family and know that one's spirit shines on in our memories and our hearts forever.

Brian and Mrs. T,

I am deeply saddened by Mr. T's passing. I know that I speak for the class of 87 and 88 gang that worked at the store when I say he will be missed, but our memories of him are joyous and always bring a smile to our faces when we talk about are days at the store.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you both no matter where in the world we find ourselves, our hearts and minds are back at the store with Mr. T and you at this moment.

Elaine, Brian and family,

I can't tell you how sad I was to hear the news yesterday. Jerry was a wonderful man, very caring and giving, who also added a sense of fun to our meetings with his sense of humor and dry wit. Although our meetings won't be the same without him, we know he will always be there in spirit.

Elaine, Brian and Family,

I heard the sad news yesterday. My deepest sympathies go out to you. I have many fond memories of "Mr.T". I am grateful for having the opportunity to work at Tenebaum Hardware for 6 years and to this day, I cherish all of my experience there. Jerry was a warm and caring soul who always liked to help others. Knowledgable, kind and generous was the man I knew. I am so glad that I had a moment to see him just a short time ago. I cannot believe that he has left us but will always remain in spirit. My heart goes out to you and your family during this time and always.

with love,
Jennifer, Geovanny, Aidan and Charlie

Elaine & Brian, We were so shocked to hear of Jerry's passing. I was expecting to see him at tonight's Foundation meeting. He will be greatly missed by many. He was a generous and kind man who was very involved in his community and the students of East Prairie. We are all saddened on his passing. Told Jen last night and she was very upset but glad she had seen him at the March dinner.
