I played basketball with Jerry for many years at Whiteside. From the first moment I walked in the gym I was introduced to the “Godfather” of the gym. Often Jerry would pull me aside to talk. I will always cherish those moments. He was a model of Christ and a leader worth modeling and following. I will miss him.

The McDermott family is thinking of our Tulsa family at this time. Uncle Jerry was a great man who clearly loved his family. We hold such fond memories of your visits to Chicago and still talk about the fun we had when we met you for the 50th anniversary. We take comfort in knowing that our mother is back with her big brother. God Bless.

We have been long time "across the street" neighbors and we have very fond memories of Jerry. For many, many years Jerry would be the first out in the day to return our trash bins to our driveway from the street. That kind act of service will be forever in our memories. I had many conversations out in the yard about his tennis matches, politics, our yards, and neighborhood activities. Jerry and Diane's kitchen table faces our house and they became our surrogate "house watchers" when we would be away on vacation or long trips. One time he called me to tell me to change the channel on my TV in my kitchen. He could see our TV from his kitchen! It was more of a laugh than anything else. We will miss those conversations greatly and will pray for God's Peace and Grace over Diane and the family.

As a long time tennis partner of Jerry, especially in later years, I have missed and will continue to miss Jerry’s calm, influence even in team matches when his partner might be dragging him down. As a fellow conservative, we had many on and off the court discussions about politics and Jerry was alway reasonable, fair and balanced.
Rest In Peace, Jerry
We’ll be thinking of you.

My brother Jerry is fondly remembered, he always had a quiet and peaceful presence. We enjoyed our family gatherings in Westchester, Tinley Park and especially our Christmas event in Tulsa in 2009. I even enjoyed playing tennis with Jerry even though he beat me easily. He was always a kind and welcoming person. He will be missed. Sorry for our loss but he is probably smiling "up There" waiting for us to join him. Marc and Don O'Brien
Three trees were planted in memory of Jerry by us and our children Dave, Teri, Kit, Mike and Tom.
