Jerry is loved so much by his friends/students in Vermont. He has taught us all so many tunes, dispensed so many hugs, told a lot of jokes-some of which you could repeat, played beautiful music to us, and brought us generously into his world of music and Cape Breton culture. I don't know if he ever forgot a name. We love him and we'll miss him. What a wonderful musician and human being. We have been privileged to be with him. Thanks, Jerry.
