I am so sad to hear that Mr. Anderson passed away at such a young age. I was lucky enough to have had him as a teacher at NAE (I am 41 this year), and I was always very fond of him. I've thought about him many times over the decades and how he would come to my mom's cinnamon roll business in the mall on weekends for a cup of coffee and a quick chat when he was working part time at Sears. He was always my favorite teacher in elementary. I remember the layout of the classroom, the door to the playground he would leave open on nice days, his kind face in the morning when we'd all come in to start the day. He is the teacher that made a lasting impression. His family and students were lucky to have had him. 💙

It was really nice working with Jerry for the time I spent at South Port Square. He was always cheerful, and ready to take on his share of the load. He will be truly missed.

I knew Jerry from the Finance Committee at church, when I was Treasurer back in 2004-2006. Robert and I send our sincere condolences to Linda and the family.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
