Kathy: I was very sorry to hear about Jerry’s passing. I have fond memories of vacations with Jerry. Sending our condolences during this very difficult time.
With my deepest sympathy and condolences. To my Aunty Kathy, Jen and Adam. The memories of my uncle Jerry (Uncle Bugeyes) will never leave me. The fishing trips alone are incredible! Times spent at the cottage on lake Erie to numerous dinners and partys spent at your place when i was younger. Words will never describe how much we all love you and through these tough times just know we are here for you all no matter what. I can hear my dad (Brian Tolcher) calling out for him “Hey bugeyes”! And uncle Jerry yelling back “Hey Beaver”! We all know they are on a perfect boat on a pefect lake at the perfect fishing spot and just loving it!! From Gail, Andrew and Cameron we love you all so much and will do anything for you all. So much Love and respect. Cameron Tolcher. Xoxo
Jenna our deepest sympathies to you and your family. I have many fond memories of Jerry when we were at Holy Family School and especially DeltaS.S.. To quote C. Sagan “To live in the hearts we leave behind is to live forever”. Paisan I will miss you.
If children are a reflection of their parents, Jerry Taylor must have been one heck of a guy. He raised a strong, adventurous, caring, and resilient daughter. My deepest condolences to the family.
I am extending my sympathy and condolences to you, Kathy and your family, while remembering how Lois and I enjoyed fun times we had together in Hamilton and up north. We enjoyed him sharing his love of life and food, and his BBQ sauce.
I will keep you in my memory.
