Jerry Payne

Memorial by Stan Rosenthal

Jerry was a very good person. This is another deep loss for the guys inside because he would help anyone. He was involved with the volleyball program and we played racquetball, most weekends, against the 40' Gaterford wall. Jerry could be trusted and was totally dependable. He quietly gave of himself and his possessions to those less fortunate on a regular basis. His help extended to defend those that were considered weak and vulnerable in this setting. He would not tolerate a bully and always looked for positive things to say. I have seen him sacrifice for the betterment of others.

I, we, lost a good friend, a caring and compassionate person. I am truly hurt by his passing. This is another big loss.
