Gerry and I grew up together in Portland in the early 1950's. My parents took many pictures of us together as we were very young and good looking then. We moved to South Portland and I remember when your family came over and showed us a Polaride Camera, which we had never seen before, and how it developed pictures while you watched it. My mother still has the pictures from it in her album. The last time I saw you was in 1970 as we both worked for Sebago Lake State Park in Naples. We got in a arguement one day on who would drive the truck and who would dump the trash in the back from the campground. It was one of the more unpleasant jobs there but someone had to do it. We were just young then and it was a nice summer working there. My world changed abruptly after that as I went into the service and Vietnam a short time later. I fondly remember those times at the park and warm summer days, and nites at the Log Cabin and Serenity Hill. Cancer tried to claim me a few years back due to exposure to Agent Orange during the war. It was battle that I felt defenseless in for the first time. Mom is going to try to contact your mom as Marge is residing at Falmouth By the Sea in Falmouth. I'm sorry for your loss Gloria and Debbie.

I first met Jerry when CMP called Maine Public Service Co. for mutual aid (to restore power on Long Island).What a hell of a great guy!!! He's the kind of guy, after meeting him, you'll never forget. One of the best!! My heart literally broke when I got the news. He'll always be in our prayers. We lost a great one!!!!         Rick Pitre  Lineworker Maine Public Service Fort Kent

Jerry, you were so much more than a customer of South Port Marine.  You were a loyal friend to the staff and an  ambassador for the company. God's speed dear friend.  We will miss you greatly.  Yours truly, Lisa Fortier, Business Manager, South Port Marine.

Jerry was the first person I met when I came to South Port. Always there to grab a line offer advice when needed. Best of all to sit on deck with a rum in hand and talk boats and boating to the wee hours of the night. We lost a member of our live a board family who will be missed. Jerry you will always have fair winds and following seas.

Dear Debbie and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Jerry's passing.  We attended school in Portland together and used to walk up Stevens Avenue from Brighton together to class.  I have always remembered him as a fun and wonderfully friendly young man since it's been years since we last saw each other.  Wish he could have been at a DHS reunion.  He'll be greatly missed.

Dear Debbie and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Jerry's courageous battle with cancer is testament to the man he was. A true friend and great co-worker, Bob worked with Jerry for over 30yrs. and will surely miss him. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you or your family. Deepest Sympathy, Bob & Georgia Taylor

I have known Jerry as a lineman and recently as a line inspector whom assisted in my training. He was a very dedicated CMP worker who  took pride in his work. It was my honor to work with Jerry and he is missed by many. Prayers to the family.

Dear Debbie,Kenny, and Gloria,
    I am devastated to hear of Jerry's passing. He was such a kind and fun loving person. I have so many fond memories of him through the years. The world is a better place because of his time here. My heart goes out to all of you and your families. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My deepest condolences and love,

So very sorry to hear that Jerry has passed. Know you are in our thoughts .With sincere sympathy. Andy and Julie DeRice

Jerry, you were a loving, caring man and a great friend.  And will be greatly missed.  My Deepest Condolences to your family. Reef the sails in the hard times and remember all the good times all the rest.  He will always be in the hearts of those who knew him and be better for knowing him.

I met Jerry in December of 2004. We had just purchased our sailboat & moved her to her winter berth at South Port Marine,,,,the face dock on A Dock. 2 days later, a Nor'Easter blew in. Along with tending to his boat,, Jerry also played a roll in ensuring our boat was secure. That was simply who Jerry was. He remained so for the eight years we were friends. I lived aboard at South Port as Jerry's neighbor and friend for several years. He would duck below, aboard my boat, on a winter day. We would share some rum, or sambuca. We would talk of the days events, our boats and the future. We would talk of going south,,, and of having gone south. We shared this "thing" that many do not understand. We shared this "thing" that many have no interest in knowing of. But it bound Jerry & I together, and continues to bind us.

God speed Friend.

It has been years since we were in our 20s on Sebago but I will always remember Jerry fondly,  Rest in peace Jerry.   Alex Frisch

Gloria and Debi, Russ and I are so sad to hear of Jerry's passing.. We will always remember the family parties. Jerry was such a great person and we will always miss him!

As one of the live aboard members of the Southport Marina community, I so enjoyed all times spent with Jerry.  We shrink-wrapped our boats together every year, had many parties and dinners aboard, and, in general, enjoyed the live aboard life.  Jerry is already sorely missed by all of us live aboards who knew him.  He was happiest on the water like so many of his friends.  Smooth sailing, my friend.

Dearest Auntie Glo and Debbie,  Our thoughts and prayers are with you along with wonderful memories of Jerry and our families from years long gone.  We are so sorry for your loss.

Jerry was a great guy.  He always had positive thoughts. He always looked for the good in others.  He will be missed by both Jim Mattison ( his 1st boss at CMP) and Linda Mattison whom worked with Jerry on some company projects..Rest in Peace Jerry.

My condolences to the Palazzo family. I enjoyed knowing and working with Jerry at CMP. He will be sorely missed.

I had the honor of caring for Anthony many years ago when I was a nurse at Mercy.  I am so sad to learn of his passing.  I was fortunate to run into him from time to time over the years and can honestly say he was someone who helped make me a better nurse.  He was always positive, even at times when he was at his worst.  My condolences to his family and friends.  He will be missed by the many lives he touched including my own.

Jerry will be sadly missed. He was a great person and a great fiend. It was a pleasure working with him over the years a CMP. Our condolences and prayers go out to his family.

Gloria and Debi, I am so sorry for your loss.  You are both in my prayers.
Dianne (Daniels) Breggia

Jerry (Bubba) was a great friend and sailing buddy. He was always willing to help me with my boat questions and issues and he always found a solution. Mr. Fix It! His boat was always immaculate. I will certainly miss our sailing adventures out of Boothbay Harbor where we would go off for a week or two and enjoy the Sea. Keep a fathom under you Jerry! you will be missed. Paul Kelly

My most sincere condolences to the Palazzo family. I will always remember the great times we had at Sebago Lake.

Jerry was a wonderful neighbor and we enjoyed living near him at South Port Marine. He was totally unselfish, had a wonderful sense of humor, was always willing to lend aid, and was one of the bravest, most upbeat people we've met. His death is a great loss. We send condolences to his family, and raise a toast of rum in his memory.

To Anthony's family, it was an honor and a pleasure meeting Anthony and being a part of this journey he was on.  Anthony always had a smile on his face and was always quick to laugh.  He was such a gentleman, a kind and compassionate man who loved his family, his boat and the outdoors.  My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to his family.  Again, it was such a honor knowing Anthony.  He will be greatly missed by many.
