Dad, on December 31st last year I promised I was going to get in shape. So far I'm doing all right. Moving in the right direction for sure. Was just thinking about you and wishing I could tell you about it and talk to you about it. I love you.

Happy New Year, Dad.
2024 is my time to focus on getting healthier and happier. I will use you as some of my inspiration... You were in such great shape in your 50s. I need to get to that same place.
I love you and miss you.

Dad, I went to your favorite coffee shop Sunday. I didn't talk to anybody who works there except to order my drink but it was good to spend time somewhere I knew you like going so much. Christmas is coming soon. And we really miss you.

Dad, Thanksgiving Day is coming up soon. I can't believe it's year number two without you. It's just going to be me and Mom and Jeff and Nikki. We're going to be thinking of you the whole time and we miss you a lot. I love you.

Happy anniversary to you and mom. Would have been 56 years today.
A very strange thing happened recently and it's made me think of you a lot. My step kids mother developed cancer earlier in September and it was severely advanced... she passed away on the 28th. Me and Mom attended the memorial service. Several hours afterward, Lance called me to thank us for coming and because he'd love to talk more with me about what it's like right after a parent dies. So in a strange way you accidentally gave me useful advice to give him. Thank you for that. I love you.

It's been one year today, dad. I miss you and I love you. Me and Jeff and Uncle Jim went to the car show Sunday in your honor. We toasted you over lunch. Nothing is the same without you here.

Dad, the last few months have been weird. Father's Day sucked, and I just couldn't face it at first. Things have gotten a little better since then, but your anniversary is coming up and that's going to be really hard. Tomorrow is the big Barone Christmas / summer party and you will be so incredibly missed. I wish you were here.

Jeff and I had a really great Mother's Day with Mom today, except for the fact that you weren't there. We miss you so much. Just know that Mom is doing okay, and that's because the two of you planned ahead so well that she is not struggling for anything. I love you, Dad.

Dad, we celebrated Easter and your son's 52nd birthday last Sunday. Your sister and her family came over too. I feel as if we all get together just so we can think about you even though we didn't really talk about that. We love and miss you very much.

Dad, I'm in Chelan for the first time since you passed away. I can't help but think of you while I'm here. I'm listening to a little jazz and drinking my coffee and looking at the view out the door. I miss you.

Dad, yesterday marked 6 months since we lost you. Sometimes I can't believe it's been that long. Sometimes it still feels like it only happened yesterday. I miss you so much and I love you dearly. I think of you everyday.

Dad, yesterday was Valentine's day. Mom sent me a card like she always does, but I sure missed seeing your signature on it. Remember yeekers? I miss those too. I love you so very much and I think of you all the time, everyday.

Well Dad, Mom's birthday has come and gone. We're going to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate her but there is going to be a big empty space where you should be. We miss you so much.

Dad, the calendar has rolled over into a new year. Some days I feel like we're doing fine, other days I don't know how we keep pushing ahead when you're not with us. I miss you very much. Every single day.

Dad, somehow we made it through Christmas without you. One of the best parts of the day though had a lot to do with you. Jeff got out all your old slides and the projector and we watched several happy thoughts of our past go by on the screen. We did it with your sister and brother-in-law and niece and everyone enjoyed it. Here's just a couple, plus a couple from Christmas day of us. Love you, Dad.

I'm so glad this tribute wall lives on, Dad. I find it comforting and I consider it a place I can express my feelings. The holidays are coming soon and nothing about them will be the same without you - but I will toast you and hold you in my heart. I love you, Dad.

Dad, Halloween was a couple days ago and I thought of all the times you took me and Jeff out to collect candy in our funny little costumes. I still miss you like crazy. Love you

Gerry...you were such a great person, you will be missed! I know that there were times when we didn't see each other for long periods. However, when we did get back together again, you made it seem like we'd never been apart, and treated Deb & I like we family! I loved talking to you about your "mechanical" experiences, and the time you had spent working on outboard motors. I've waited this long to post because I'm still in shock that you're gone. You will be in our thoughts and hearts forever!

We have known Jerry for 20 years. Vacationed with him along with others from the MR2 group. Jerry was always witty, generous, loving and fun. Here are some pictures from a 2009 road trip to California. We will missed Jerry and I am sure our future gatherings will include a toast to him.

It's been several years but I can easily recall his smile and his laugh - such a good natured and welcoming person. He was always fun to be around and surely Mary would keep him in check on the rare occasion he needed it (okay, maybe not so rare!). Jerry will be missed.

So many family memories include Uncle Jerry! The man who always wore shorts on the 4th of July no matter what the weather because, darn it, it was SUMMER! We will miss him always.

Saddened to know of Jerry's passing.... happy to have known Jerry for many years, first thru the MR2 car club.
Jerry was a terrific person to be around.
He always had a positive attitude, along with a sense of humor!
If there was a mechanical problem, he knew how to resolve it.
If we were out of contact for a bit, Jerry would send a hello and a joke.
Always thoughtful and would keep you laughing.
Jerry will be missed for sure..... but not forgotten.

We are broken hearted and missing our long time friend. We traveled all over with Jerry and Mary with the car club we formed together over 20 years ago.
Jerry was a wonderful human being, he'd do anything in the world for you. He always was so gracious and always had a smile on his face. His quick wit and wonderful sense of humor kept all of us on our toes. We loved to be around Jerry. He always had Mary by his side, taking care of her, wether it was getting her a special cushion so she could see over the dash is his FRS sportscar or making sure she took care of herself.
Jerry you will be greatly missed. Thanks for Chelan and all the times we got together. Love you always see you again someday on that great highway in heaven❤️❤️

Fond memories of brother-in-law, running partner, hiking/climbing companion and fellow high performance driving school instructor. He will be sorely missed by family and friends, but we know he's in a better place.
