Dear Aunt Pauline, Steve, Eddie and Marlene:

I was very sad to learn today of Uncle Jerry's death. He was a great uncle and a very kind brother. I always found him to be warm, funny and caring. I'll miss him.

Love, Barbara (Bruce, Dustin & Jamie)

I am sorry for yours, my cousins and your grand children's loss. I will never forget the time Uncle Jerry spent with Mom when she was sick.
I never thought that I was only going to find out about his passing by seeing it in the paper.
Please feel free to contact me.

Mark

Dear Warshaw family
The last time we (his classmates from Von Steuben) saw Jerry was at our 65th reunion last August. It was good to see him and to think he was doing well. We will all miss him and send our condolences to you.
Sincerely
Alice Rifkind Gutenkauf
