Jerry Solomon Obituary

To : Jerry´s mom and family

So very sorry to learn of Jerry´s
Passing. We were fraternity brothers and pledge classmates at the
Univ of Illinois in 1967-71. I can´t remember a more outgoing and friendly gentleman. He was a social animal who enjoyed his many friendships. We lost contact as everyone went their separate ways but his very nature and smile will be remembered by all with whom he had contact .

Everyone involved with the real estate softball league (DRESL) has lost a great friend. You will be truly missed.

I am lucky to have had so many wonderful times spent with Jerry, at Bulls games, great restaurants, and just puttering around with the Jeep. He was a great friend and a wonderful person and I miss him. Our history spans over 30 years- that is something nothing can erase.

Dear Mrs. Solomon,



My heart goes out to you at the loss of your son. Jerry was a boy and then a man who always had a smile on his face and a kind word to say. He will be missed by so many of us. Judy Koster

Jerry, I can't imagine a person with more friends than you. I'm glad I could put myself in that bunch.



You helped me out when I was down and for that I will be eternally grateful. I can only hope that one day we'll meet again so I can get *you* a shot.



I won't let it burn down. You can count on that.

Dear Jerry. My heart is very heavy right now along with the rest of my body. I will miss your wonderful laugh and that beautiful voice. I will miss seeing you with a shot of Christian Brothers in your hand after a terrible round of golf. I am going to take some time now to shed some more tears. I know you will be very happy where you are going now because up there everyone can break 90 on the golf course. All my Love Mikey Walton.

My deepest sympathy to Bernice and to all of Jerry's many friends.

It is often difficult to express the emotions one feels when confronted with the death of an old friend. Commingled with the sorrow of loss are the pleasant memories of a long friendship.

I think tonight I'll remember my friend Jerry by placing a friendly wager on Monday Night Football and watch the game sipping on a glass of Christian Bros. brandy.

Peace Jerry. Your struggle has ended. We must now struggle without you.

My friend, my friend,you will be missed.

Our hearts are very heavy at such a sad time. You were a special kind of guy. Our condolences to your wonderful Mother. Adriane & Marv

Aloha Jerry!



I had a memory of you walking outside the bar I was working in with a beautiful blonde. You were having a snowball fight and you both were very happy and laughing. You were my brother's next door neighbor for awhile, my manager at PS Chicago and a very fun, vibrant, kind man. You will be missed and my best to your mother during this hard time. You hold a special place in my heart.

With deepest sympathy

A true friend, you will be missed.

Love, Bryan and Liz

Farewell to my old friend since high school.
