We were roommates in 1990-92 Tulsa OK. I really liked his dad Dominic and family. We parted and never spoke again. I send my love to the Alberga family.

My heart is very sad at this moment as I tired to call Jerry as had not talked in a while.Decided to go online, hoping to locate him. In my search I see his Obituary, needless to say I am in total disbelief. Jerry "Peaches" is the nickname I gave him upon meeting him, he was a student in my husbands class at Tulsa Technology Center, he became a friend to our family. My husband Andy was amazed by this Yankee as he would joking address his impressive student with superior intelligence. After Peaches graduated he kept in touch, he and his old instructor (Andy Eursery) would go flying,  Jerry would call often and we looked forward to his visits.  When my husband passed away Jerry called me many times, relating stories and expressing how Andy was his mentor and hero, he was truly saddened by his passing. Jerry's calls were uplifting, concerning and respectful. It is not often you meet a person like Jerry, he warmed our hearts to the point he was family. In conservation over the phone Jerry I learned of health issues he was dealing with, he was talking about going to Canada, never thought we wouldn't talk ever again!   My deepest Sympathies go out to the Alberga Family. Darlene Eursery

Missing you Jerry! Think about you every day . Wishi could be there today with you and your family and many friends.

Thinking of you Jerry - wish I could be there to celebrate your life with your family and friends!

Happy Birthday brother. You are in my thoughts and always my dear friend. I'm looking forward to your presence Saturday as we remember you and celebrate all the good things you did for others and all the kindness you showed us.

Happy Birthday Jerry!!!! 45 years ago today you entered this world and for 45 years you made us laugh and cry and educated us in the world of aviation. You achieved every goal you set and left a permanent 'Jerry stamp' on the hearts of those who were lucky enough to have known you.
Sleep peacefully and one day soon we will laugh, talk and hug again.
With all my heart,
Your sister~ dominique xo

  I've been here many times and each time I just do not know what to say.  I know I miss Gerry.  I miss the wild times and the good times.  Whenever we found the time to get out of that town and head south will forever be some of my greatest memories. Gerry was always ready to go and live life full throttle. 
  I offer my deepest sympathies to the family.  He loved you all very much and spoke of you every time I was with him.  I loved Gerry and will never forget him.  He was one of a kind.

My heartfelt condolence goes out to the Alberga family. I loved you like a brother I am so going to miss that loud wonderful laugh,your zest for life.Rest in peace bro,love you and miss you.

MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR JERRY ALBERGA- JULY 11TH

For information and details regarding the July 11th Memorial Service for Jerry, please contact: galluzzipi@yahoo.com and/or 516-297-5001.

We live across the street from Diane & Dominick and they have become very special to us over the last 9 1/2 years we've lived in Manhasset. Our hearts break for them and also Dominique & Gianna and Danny, during this unthinkable tragedy. We would like to extend our deepest condolences.  As the saying goes, this is the "worst nightmare" any parent can live thru or experience.
My husband, Branko, got to know Jerry while working on our house before we moved in.  This was fall of 2005 and Jerry was home for a while at that time.  He would come across the street and talk to Branko or to borrow a tool or whatever.  He would come home at night and say that this really nice guy across the street welcomed him into the neighborhood.  This was the first impression of Jerry.....a special guy with a huge heart. I unfortunately only met Jerry once very briefly while he visited home and Diane introduced us.  
It is very apparent, from reading these beautiful tributes to Jerry and looking at all the photos of him, that he was a very special guy that was taken way too early.  He left a void in many people's hearts and we pray that his family can find peace and move on with their lives.  Hopefully all the wonderful memories they have of Jerry will lessen the pain somewhat and only time will make these very painful wounds just a little better. Always remember that Jerry is now an angel looking down on you!! God Bless!!

My memories of my Uncle Jerry....
I remember when Uncle Jerry had his cat "Titan" driven to me in a Volvo SUV from Alabama to my house in Westhampton. I also remember one Christmas he sent me 4 big boxes from FAO Schwartz and I was so excited. He remembered my birthday every year and for my 3rd birthday he bought me a 52" flat TV for my bedroom!!! ....of course Mommy didn't allow it in my room :( 
I remember going to Quebec city on a road trip with Uncle Jerry and Mommy over Easter 2012 and he bought me 2 of the same ballerina t-shirts in different sizes cuz I loved it sooo much. We stayed at the Le Chateau Frontenac that MaMa reserved for us and I got my first Pandora charm on that trip for my Pandora bracelet.
I know that Uncle Jerry loved me very much and told everyone about me and he had pictures of me all around his house.
He was a good uncle and very special with a big heart. I will miss my Uncle Jerry very much.

Diane and Dominick, thank you for sharing with me some of your sweet memories about your beloved son, Jerry.  It is clear that he was very special to you, and from all of the tributes here, I can see that he was a kind and generous soul.  Although you are heartbroken, may you find comfort in your good memories of him.  Our family will hold you in our prayers.

My deepest condolences to the Alberga family
Jerry lived a full life, and it is clear from the many thoughtful posts here that he made a positive impact on many lives.  I agree with all of these descriptions of Jerryhe was truly one-of-a-kind and will be remembered by many.
I am very thankful to have met Jerry and have shared much of the 1990s with him through all of the ups and downs.  I will remember him most for his humor and wit, his bigger-than-life heart, and his unparalleled generosity. 
There are many memories of Jerry that will be forever etched into my mind.  We had many fun adventures during our early flying careers, including under the hood ILS approaches at Tulsa International Airport in Deana's Twin Comanche all the way to wheels on the groundloops, spins, and rolls in various aircraftflying in formationand many other fun times in the sky  a place where Jerry felt right at home.  I have many fond memories of simply hanging out with Jerry having a cold one and sharing some good ole belly laughs at the house in Glenpool, at the apartment near Southern Hills, at Larry Oliver's house, at the local Bennigans, and other Tulsa establishmentsaah  
Jerry's (and his family's) generosity and big heart stood out the most when they helped me in a time of need and transition.  Jerry and his family opened up their home to me and treated me as family during the Summer of '95.  I could write a book describing that summer and the many acts of generosity and friendship.  
It was great knowing you Jerry, and my only regret after you have moved on is that I wasn't there for you in a time of need.  Rest in peace my friend, my brother.  You and your amazing family will always be remembered and have a special place in my heart.

My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the family. Jerry's vivacious personality was larger than life. It was contagious. Full of wit, intelligence, and always found a way to put a smile on my face. Jerry will hold a special place in my heart with the closeness of the fond memories he and I shared. Wishing the family peace, comfort, and strength. I love you all.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Alberga family.  I only knew Jerry for a few years but feel blessed to be able to call him friend.  In the time I knew him, I found him to be passionate about may things but what made him the happiest was talking about flying. Now, whenever I think of Jerry, I will forever see him flying in a plane with endless fuel. 

I love you Man !!

Your loss has left us empty. We think about you all day and night and say, "this can't be real, this can't be true, it's just a bad dream." But yet, we know it's not and we'll never see your face or hear your laugh again...but yet it echoes constantly in my mind. You had the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met or heard of and perhaps since it was so big that it couldn't fit anymore in your body and took you to a better place? What you have left behind are hands full of friends and family from Australia to Canada and New York to California who are missing you terribly. You lived a full life of an 80 yr old man in half the time and saw what most don't see in a lifetime. You experienced the highs of flying and the lows of loneliness, but never lost your generosity, special caring of your family, especially Mom & Dad and your sense of humor. Your smile is etched in my mind and my heart forever. I lost my most precious friend whom I have loved and adored for 45 years and saw a young boy turn into a man who against all odds become an accomplished pilot, FAA Aircraft Mechanic and very successful business man. You achieved all your goals and you were always and will always be my HERO!
My sweet brother Jerry never forget how much love Mom, Dad, Gianna and I had for you and not a day will go by without some sort of reminder of how very SPECIAL you are!
With all my love and every tear I shed....

My heart goes out to the Alberga family for your loss.  I've  known Jerry going back to 1991 and lost touch when he moved from Tulsa.  It is hard to comprehend  that he is gone,  we had some great times and he will be missed.

My heart breaks for you and your loss.
I remember those sun filled days in St Kitts, where I was so fortunate to be a part of your beautiful family. 
We all had so much fun together. 
Jerry greeted us at the airport and whisked us off to that, 'oh so authentic' caribbean restaurant. What terrific laughs we all shared.
It was such a happy time. 
Jerry, I wish your soul much peace.
With love.
Laura

For Those Who Loved Jerry The Best
Love doesn't die
Please don't cry
Just because he had to leave you
As long as you remember him
He will live in your hearts 
He is not gone forever
He will be the cool gentle breeze
In the hot summer weather
When you need a shoulder to lean on
He will be standing by your side
Love doesn't die
His kindness, laughter and hugs
Will always be remembered with joy
Smile when you think of Jerry
You will make it through
Love doesn't die its lives on forever

Love Kathy, Steve, Jordan & Tommy

My heart, deepest sympathy, and condolences goes to the Alberga Family. I can't  imagine the pain the parents feel having to burry their son when we as parents expect our children to burry us and in this unfortunate situtation we have to be strong and look to family and friends for support. As I read here all the wonderful encouraging words of support and prayer I attempt to do the same. Let you all know that I am here for you all and I won't forget how you all have been there for me especially Dominique in my difficult times I did not have the pleasure of meeting Jerry but knowing is parents and siblings we would have gotten along great with your Mothers charm your Fathers personality like your brother and sister you would have taken over the room. My prayer are with you I know you are in a better place. So much love speaks a lot about who you are and the lives you have touched. Rest in Peace Jerry and may all your family and friends remember you like we all hope to be one day in the most positive light never forgotten 

German Family

Jerry...I knew you as a kind-hearted man who always tried to take care of the people you loved. Thank you for all that you have done for my brother and I. You will be missed by many. I hope that you have found peace, and that you can rest easy now.


A MA GRANDE SOEUR DIANE AINSI QU' TOUTE SA FAMILLE, J'OFFRE MES PLUS PROFONDES CONDOLÉANCES.  JE GARDERAI DE JERRY QUE DE BONS SOUVENIRS.  TU RESTERAS TOUJOURS DANS MON COEUR  AVEC TOUT MON AMOUR  MONIQUE

To The Alberga Family:

Jerry was a unique and special friend who came into our lives at a very difficult time. He was there for my family when I could not be because of living a thousand miles away. We became good friends and confidants through countless long conversations on the phone and several great visits in Destin. His generosity and kindness will always be remembered and missed by our family and all of those who were fortunate to know him.

Dick Spencer & Family

To the Alberga family, my deepest sympathies go out to you all.  Peace be with you.  Jerry was a very caring brother, a loving son and a friend to all.

Dominick, Diane, Dominique and Danny. We started out as neighbors, then friends and ended up as family.  Words can't express our sadness.  Rest in peace sweet Jerry.  You'll forever be in our hearts.  Fran, Melanie and Bobby

My heart goes out to you during this tragic loss Alberga family. It has been heartbreaking to loose such a wonderful man that I will forever love and miss. Jerry was the kindest, sweetest, most generous, and sensitive person. He was a great friend to our family through many ups and downs. I will always remember his smile and sense of humor that could make me laugh even when I was angry. Praying for you all, Rest in peace Jerry.

My deepest sympathies Aunt Deane and Uncle Dom on the loss of your son.  I cannot begin to comprehend the sense of loss.  As for John, Michael, Dominique and Danny, I can truly say that I know the loss you have. When I lost my brother someone told me the following:  When you lose a parent, you lose your past, when you lose a child you lose your future, but when you lose a sibling you lose you past, present and future.  My heart is broken for all of you!

There are no words that can express the sadness of losing a loved one. As a mother, I feel this sadness deep within me. As the mother of someone that you helped and guided through his young adult life, I have appreciation and love for you. I will always be grateful for your presence in our lives. As I look at the photos, it takes me back to a simpler time when you were happy and well and that cheers my heart. I choose to believe you are at peace. You will be missed but not forgotten.

Lorsque je pense à Jerry se sont des souvenirs d'enfance que j'ai, je n'ai pas vraiment connu l'homme qu'il est devenu dû à la distance, mais j'ai tellement de bons souvenirs avec Jerry et tu vas me manquer. Dominick, Diane, Dominique, Dany I am so much with you in my heart, take care of each other and I am sure that this is what Jerry is doing from the sky.  Love you all xoxo

You changed my life Jerry in so many ways. I can not believe that you are gone! I will never forget you and the things you taught me. You would do anything for our family because of your big heart and I am so sad to see you go! 
Rest in peace uncle Jerry, you were a brother, father, mentor, and friend to me

Rest in peace, my friend. So many great memories. You were one-of-a-kind. There was nothing you couldn't or wouldn't do. Never a conversation without that patented Jerry laugh or an "AAH!" So sorry you've left your family and friends, but I know you're at peace now, and already wreaking havoc in heaven. You'll have many hard-to-believe stories by the time I see you again.  I look forward to them.

Many prayers going to the Alberga family! Rest in peace Jerry, you were such a great person to have known. You and I had a special bond and I have always looked up to you. You lived a fun, vivid life and always made everyone laugh. You will be greatly missed!

Many thoughts and prayers to my Alberga family! I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful loving good looking son/ brother. It is a great loss to me and I think about him daily. I'm gonna miss him to pieces and will never forget all the great times we had! There is no kinder person I loved him dearly. There is not one person who could make me laugh so much! Jerry RIP! I'm sure we will meet again  my guardian angel...

My deepest sympathy to all of you.  You are in my thoughts.  May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Michael and Merri Chechanover

As you comprehend your profound loss our love and thoughts are with your family.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Alberga family!  Losing a child, brother, or uncle is never easy, but may your fondest memories of Jerry be remembered forever when you find yourself feeling sad or just missing him being a part of your daily lives!  He passed away far to young from this life, but he had lived such a full life in those short years.  I will forever remember the friend I met, the experiences he shared to those of us that got a chance to know this man for being generous, kind, free-hearted, smart, and of course, over-bearing at times, but that was Jerry!  I will never forget this unique man.  May he forever rest in peace.  
God Bless, Deb

My condolences to the Alberga family. Jerry, rest in peace. I will always remember how we told jokes in your office.

Your friend
Ruth

Linda

My condolences to the Alberga Family. Jerry was loved and very caring. Jerry was a great friend of mine. We had many many fun times together and always laughed hard when talking on the phone or in person. I am proud to have had him as my friend. He will be missed but is at peace now and smiling/laughing down on us. Ahhh. Until we see each other again. Peace brother.

Our condolences to the Alberga Family for their loss. Jerry will always be in our hearts and minds and his always smiling face will be missed.

Jerry- you were my best friend. A day won't go by without something to remind me of how generous and loving you were to me, our family, and my sweet little Princess, your niece, Gianna.
I took your cd that was in the player in your car, Lynyrd Skynyrd and while driving past LaGuardia Airport yesterday I put it on as I watched planes approaching and departing and the first song was 'Sweet Home Alabama". Although you spent 10+ years living there, your home will always be Manhasset. 
Rest in peace my dear brother...you deserve it!
The sky is crying Jerry and so am I.
All my love...forever you will live in our hearts.

My condolences to the Alberga Family.  I have some fond memories of Jerry as we grew up in  Manhasset.   The last time we had some great laughs was probably Tim Murphy's wedding.  Peter McAree
