I may be the one of us that knew Jerry the longest.  Jerry and I were born in the same year, lived a block away from each other, walked or drove to school together almost every day until high school graduation, were Eagle Scouts together, etc.  Safe to say that I knew Jerry in his formative years as well as anyone.  Jerry Pederson was one of the nicest guys I knew.  
Jerry was a Prince of a man.  I feel blessed to have grown up next to him.

I first walked into Jerry's office in 1971.  He was the first and only optometrist I ever had until his retirement and we've seen Jon ever since! 

 He was there for my parents, Cindy and I , our children and many in Cindy's family as well.  I never knew a man who was any kinder or any more generous with his time than Jerry.  He was a professional that we could depend on and yet over the years became a personal friend.

We will miss Jerry and enjoyed the times that we could meet and catch up over a cup of coffee these last few years.

Our hearts go out to you and may the Lord's peace sustain you during this time of loss.

I am one of the many lucky patients Jerry took good care of.  I have such clear memories of his voice and his laugh.  Our kids were the same age, roughly, and we spent many hours sitting in the grass at soccer practices, talking about "stuff."
What a lovely man he was.  You were lucky to have each other.

To many memories to mention here but we know what they are including our First meeting with you Linda and all the special times we spent together over the years! You were the light of Jerry’s existence beside his Children and Grandchildren for the remainder of his life! God Bless and Be with you all in your time of remembrance!!! Elizabeth and Anthony Adrian

I feel so honored to of known such a great man.
I’ve never met anyone that was as kind, giving and thoughtful as Dr. Pederson.  He was a natural teacher, the best employer and a wonderful friend.
My heart aches with the news of his passing.
Love and thoughts are with you Linda, Jon, Mark and family.
Our sincere condolences,
Martha and Paul Kokosinski

Our gratitude can not be expressed with words or ever repaid Dr. Jerry - you were our optomatrist from the time I was 5 years old. Taking care of our whole family and giving us Dr. Jon who continues to care for three generations of our family including my parents, my children and my nephew.  Among the fond memories we have of you include the helping hand you extended to my brother when he considered optometry. Your kindness and care will always be remembered.  Our deepest sympathies to your family, they are in our  thoughts and prayers.

Jerry was my cousin,  I remember great times at Minnewaska when we were kids....his Dad pulled everyone on water skis!  He was a kind soul and a great guy!  RIP Jerry!

Dr. Jerry Pederson was the kindest, most knowledgeable, and just the BEST individual and Optometrist I had the pleasure of working for and with back in 1970 when he was at the beginning of his business. He always took the time with each patient to explain in detail their eye condition and what needed to be done.  With each patient, you were never just another set of eyes, you were an individual first! 

He came to our wedding. He even came to our home to take me to a specialist in the middle of the night when I had an eye injury.  He was not just my employer/boss, he was my friend!!

It’s with a broken heart 💔 I write this. My deepest condolences to his family. His wife Linda. His sons Jon and Mark. Their wives and children. 

Our love, thought, and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time in your lives. Please let Duane and I know if there’s anything we can do to help. Hope the memories will help you get through. Your husband, father, father-in-law, and grandpa was an amazing man!!
