Dear Friends,
This weekend we brought Jerry home..

Louise had picked out a day for the Celebration of Jerry's life..... she would like as many of you that are able to join in that day to be there, those that cannot, you will still be in her thoughts and heart.

The Celebration Of life will take place on May 21 a Saturday, at Louise and Jerry's home in Amesbury Mass..

As soon as I get the information from the hotel closest to there, the Fairfield ,I will give you all a code to get a group rate for the weekend..the rate is $99.US per day for the room..doesn't make a difference if there are 4 to a room or 1. sharing is good :) we have UNTIL May 1 to get that rate any reservations after that will pay the rate of $139.00 per night..

there are other hotels in the area just a bit further away,IE: a Best Western in NH that are cheaper, if that price is not in your budget...email me for details please

Please arrange for your airfare if needed as soon as possible as the flights are full that weekend for some reason.. there are two airports
one is Boston.... about an hour and 15 minutes away and a smaller airport Manchester NH which is about 1/2 hour away.
Amtrack also services to Boston where you can get a bus to Newburyport Mass.. and someone will pick you up..

as soon as I hear form the hotel I will post the code on this thread in big letters...

Love and hugs to you all....

I am so sorry.

You will all be in our thoughts.

I'm so sorry we won't be able to be there either. We'll be on our way home from Bonaire. We'll take Jerry to Bonaire with us, on our hearts. Wish we could be there, but we'll be with you in spirit. ♥♥♥

Hope to be able to meet again at a later date. :)

We already have tickets and hotel reservations in Annapolis for the Chesepeake Bay Blues Fest that weekend. I completely forgot to put that down as a weekend we could not be there. I am very upset at myself right now for forgetting that.

Thank you Freddie, Tom and especially Louise for the effort to include as much of BT as possible. ♥

Very sad (but totally understand) that we can not make it. We are flying home from Bonaire that day.

If people will be around the next day we'd really like to get together with whoever can for either breakfast or lunch some place in the Newburyport area.

Please let me remind everyone again..

The rooms have to be reserved by MAY 1 in order to get the discount.. they will honor the discount a couple of days before and/or after the event...
I will post the information as soon as I receive it from the hotel. oh and btw this hotel does not have a bar, but it does have a modest DIY breakfast that is included, hot cookies at night if you can get them before Tom and Ppoo do :) and there is a Friendly's just a few steps away from the front door of the hotel....

I would like to make a formal apology to all my friends on BT, about my stupid mistake. Please know that I shall be there in spirit, and I especially apologize to Louise for my absence. However, that is why God invented cell phones, and I will absolutely be calling. Again, I am so very sorry.

Roy, if you can fly into Philadelphia or Newark earlier that week, I would love to entertain you in Philadelphia for a couple of days. Kathi and I will be leaving for Annapolis on Friday, May 20th. Just know it is about a 5 hour drive to Jerry's house, or a 1 hour flight from Philadelphia to Manchester, New Hampshire on Southwest. Of course, I would be happy to pick you up at the airport, and take you back to the airport, if you fly. I also believe Lufthansa flies to a couple different places in Germany from Philadelphia and Newark.

Meryl Amtrack goes into Boston, you can then rent a car there if you want or catch a bus to Newburyport which is about 20 minutes away from Amesbury... not sure about the availability of cars there though....

Sat down with hubby tonight, just back from my folks place, went over the calendar and forgot I had an obligation on that date. I will be with you all in spirit.

Meryl, try SW from Phila to Manchester (MHT), rent a car from airport, easy ride to Jerry's from there. Throw your GPS in your carry on and program Jerry's address in it. Done it twice now, no hassles. Used Budget Car Rental at airport.

So nice to see the list growing. Wish I could add my name to it but I won't be able to be there. I am actually in the US at that time but I am camping in Yellowstone NP on my first real vacation with the family. You will all be on my mind that day and if there is ever going to be a small (or BIG!!!) rerun on Bonaire then I will definitely be in! Maybe we should try and figure out when a decent portion of you guys will be here and do something together?

Unfortunately, we will not be able to make this. Have scheduled trips for the summer, and simply cannot take more time out from my job. In addition, we may have my eldest niece with us, on her study leave from the UK.

Of course, we will be there in spirit for both Jerry & Louise.

Thanks Freddie, just reserved the Princess' and my room.

Folks, I checked the local Best Western this morning and if interested, you can get rooms there for $69.00 per night, less if you qualify for discounts. It is approximately 8 minutes north of the Fairfield. Look for Best Western Seabrook Inn.

Roy, flying from PHL to Manchester, NH is so much easier to get to Jerry's. Boston is how we say in the Marine Corps, a real cluster f***.

I don"t think I have any "confirmed" passengers at this time. The North & South Boston train stations are relatively close to the airport, so no problem there.

All you folks driving or flying from PA or Jersey, much more easier and faster to fly into Manchester (MHT) than flying into Boston. I'm just saying... Traffic is nowhere like from Boston. Really bummed I can't make it.

"little old me"....I figured driving was the easiest and most cost-effective way for me to go since I have to drive at least an hour to get to any other kind of transportation anyhow...I could probably meet you somewhere in NJ if you wanted to ride together..just a thought...I'd be driving up on Friday, back on Sunday...

Coming up from the south or west, the Garden State Thruway to the Tappen Zee bridge into White Planes and then up 684 and 84 to the Mass Pike is the best route. Avoid the GW Bridge and 95. IMHO.

Cecil, I absolutely agree with you. Going over the GW on 95 is an absolute mess.

Roy, still working on tickets. I tried to get Trenton Thunder tics for that time, but they are away then. :(

Philadelphia has enough to offer in the way of tourism. It is where our country was born, etc. We also have great German food and beer. :) But you are in for a cheesesteak, my friend, from Pat's or Geno's.

Hmmm I agree the alternate route might be better, however from my house to go that way, I wouldn't even go into NJ at all...just up 84 into NY...was trying to do it the other way for 2 reasons...I'm much more familiar with the route 80 way and to get me into NJ to meet up with Meryl....I will have to look at a map, but if I have company for the trip, I'm flexible!

Roy, got your mail...need to work on details...so confused!

Hi, Mrs Turtle here (Karen)
We are willing to share a room with another couple or any singles combination. Would keep expenses down. Fairfield Hotel is where we are booking. We will be there Friday night and Saturday night. Let us know.

Meryl, Freddie was wondering where he went!

Boom, you and Guy can have the room next to ours, then they'll all be wondering! ;)

Tom, I am on the hunt for pictures. I am working on making a cd up to take over to Freddie. It is possible I took that picture, as it is at The Clam Box, but so far haven't come up with it. We had the distinct pleasure of enjoying not one, but two fabulous meals with Jerry and Louise at The Clam Box. The first time we were there, Jerry broke Rebecca's heart. The girls were wearing HK shirts and Jerry told Becca that he just didn't like HK. She sobbed! Can you imagine that?!!!! ;)

Eric and I will be there. Eric says that if this is important to me, he wants to be there too...

I'm having all kinds of emotions about this, guys. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody. But I'm so sad it is going to be for this reason. But I'm glad I can lend myself to the celebration. But I'm so mad at myself that I didn't go when it would have been to visit Jerry. Anybody else having any of these feelings? Sorry to inject any down stuff...I know we're all hurting...

I've heard everybody say that Jerry would want a celebration and I kind of feel like I'm swimming against popular sentiment, but it is all on my mind. Please tell me somebody else is feeling some of this?

CB, I know what you mean...I'm going and I'm excited to be meeting people and to celebrate Jerry, but I also feel guilty and like I don't "deserve" to be there because I wasn't a part of this for a while and because I didn't meet him when he was alive...I understand, but I do believe this is what Jerry would want...

CB - Donna, I am glad that you ladies (and Eric) will be there. There are no "I don't deserves" here - okay? Every person on this board meant something to Jerry.

Donna, when I told Jerry you had returned he said "No ?" when I told him "No !" he smiled and said "that's good." Believe it Sister, it is true.

We are gathering to honor a man that loved us, played with us and tried to keep this ragtag group together. There will be tears (I hope mine are all used up by then) but, there will be laughter too. How can there not be?

Just be there if you can, enjoy the memories and companionship. Don't be afraid to laugh if so moved - okay?

Hugs and to you all. click and poof

Of course I'm kicking myself for having missed meeting Jerry in person --- I'll always regret that it just couldn't happen but I know without a doubt that the last thing Jerry would want or expect is for any of us to live with regret.

I'm a big sap, so yes I'll be crying but I swear that voice in my head has taken on a distinct gravely accent that brings a smile to my face and a song in my heart. I'll be raising some dust at every chance!!!

Well, Tara, here is what I can tell you. Imagine Matt Damon talking in "Good Will Hunting" in that excellent Bastan accent he did. Or any of the guys in the "Departed" with their Boston accent. The real packing the Ka in the yad guys. That is exactly how Jerry sounded. So if you ever go back and read any of his stuff, that is his voice.

Tara and CB, We can have the "I never met Jerry" crying corner...I am a sap, too, and I cry just talking about him...

Tom, I truly believe I am back because of Jerry... and you...thank you! ♥


Jim, although I hadn't given much thought to the fact Jerry would have that accent, having spent many, many years going to Massachusetts twice a year (my husband is from Fall River), I have no problem at all imagining his voice now.... :)

Anyway..I love ALL of you, my BT family and am looking forward to the in person healing hugs...Jerry WILL be smiling down on us, I know it! ♥♥♥

I talked to Jerry on Freddie's cell right after we bagged the Big Duck, and heard that accent, along with a lot of cackling laughter.

I'm going to try and take this get together as another gesture of generosity from Jerry, that he would be glad to have us all together...I have to find a way to think about this...

Having instant messaged Jerry every day (until the last year when work went to hell in a hand basket, it was less frequent)...having the pleasure to be on Bonaire with he and Lou five times and dive with him...searching for that "patch" at 100 feet off Belefonte...that we never found lol, meeting him at his first BT meet at his house, making crank calls to his bike shop as a high maintenance diva wanting pink valve caps, wheels, bike, bells, baskets, and a wine holder...sending him hello kitty at work, sharing food and wine at Capriccios, eating weenies in BBQ sauce on the doc at Belefonte watching the sun set...getting Lou to jump off the doc at Belefonte...are just a few of my fond memories of Jerry and Lou.

I too am feeling what CB is feeling. This is very difficult for me in many ways...I cry daily, and frankly can't even look at pictures of Jerry at this moment...in fact, I'm crying right now. It hurts so badly I've even thought about not going because I'm just not sure I can even handle it...I've lost many people in my life, and Jerry was truly one of a kind, and I considered him one of my closest friends. He could keep a secret, give advice, and tell you to Bite Me if you he felt you needed a kick in the pants....so, CB, you are not alone...I imagine we are all feeling the pain of his loss on different levels....

Tink, I too have hard time seeing his smiling face only because I know I won't see it again in this lifetime, I well up every time I open this page. But your memory of all the things you shared with Jerry made me smile.

We all have our own personal way of mourning, be it through tears, humor, reflecting on the past, or wondering what the future holds without the person by our side.

I belive that we all loved Jerry and he loved all of us, and we are all hurting. Jerry is bringing us all together, to show our love and support for Louise and one another, and I guarantee how we do that will vary from person to person. We owe him and Louise and family members the proper respect they deserve but part of why we miss and love him so much is because the type of person he was, funny as hell with a sharp wit but a genuine caring, almost fatherly persona.

This is just my personal take on things and don't deny anyone the right to express the way they feel in the way they see fit. My way of dealing with death and losing someone I love is through tears and laughter. I also focus on being thankful for the time I had with them and how my life is better because of them. I hope we can all lend support to one another and Louise while we gather, AS ONE....that's what I believe Jerry would most appreciate. Just MHO

Very well said Cynde and Ro,,,,and everyone else while I am reading this thread over and over.
All the years that Bt existed and changed as people came and went..and came back again...Jerry was a Highlight..yes a father figure..someone that made sure EVERYONE played nice...but still showed there could be fun doing so.
This will be hard for everyone...but I look forward to not missing out on meeting the people who make up so much of my everyday world anymore.
It's time!

Meryl, you hit the nail on the head! BT is something special and you guys have a chance to meet, celebrate and enjoy fellowship!!!

We can't argue with the fact that Jerry would be so thankful for us to be able to put together something like this. It will take you all to make it happen.
What a great event. Despite the sorrow there is much to be thankful and grateful for indeed.

I was so honored that Jerry sent Bob to me first.

He really was a great sport with being photo shopped too.

I met Jerry and Lou on Bonaire in Jan. 2010 at Mod Mania - Conversations, Diving, breaking bread, drinking wine and smoking cigars. I'm so thankful for that time together.

Where is Bob now ? - does anyone know ?

I don't read the Comm Chat forum on a regular basis is why. I live just 7.9 miles S of his bike shop so that makes me sad that I never met Jerry. I'm sorry...

It is so sad to read all of this, but it still brings me peace and joy. I'm so sorry that I cannot make the memorial. It's just not feasible for me right now. Please add me to your festivities, and raise a glass for me. I sure wish I could be there. Lots of love to you all who can make it, it will be a BT meet of epic proportions, with lots of Jerry stories, and I surely wish I could be a part of it.

Safe travels to all my friends.

Gosh, I just got caught up on this thread and I have tears....Coming to BT and not having Jerry here is just not right. I'm sorry, but I'm having a moment.

I agree that Jerry would want us all to get together in happiness, not so much sorrow. But it's gonna be hard. Somehow I see laughter thru the tears. It's going to be good to have each other there, for hugs and happiness.

I did feel that the bold purple type was a bit over the top. It's a gathering of friends, a celebration of life, a wonderful time to remember a dear friend. Yes, it is "exciting" to finally get together w/ friends that we have never met, yet, it is still ALL ABOUT JERRY.
Let's just show love and respect for Jerry and for Louise....

You know what guys...??,

When someone like Jerry passes, we all come together to celebrate him.

But it is also about us, and how father time is driving us all closer together. Jerry is sitting up in his balcony chair right now, snickering.

Can you guys believe that people are spending thousands of dollars to travel thousands of miles and commemorate the life of someone they never met?

Lou should take great comfort in that. Me..., I'm just looking for a Reuben somewhere along the trail? It is sad that it takes something like this to bring us together but, isn't that the way it is in every family?

We are family....aren't we??

Kobi,

You know what. You and Rob talk a good game, but you guys never step up to the plate here in VA. We are only a few miles apart, compared to other members on this board.

Terry's broken ankle is on the mend now. She's using a hyperbaric chamber to facilitate the healing of her wound. The doc's took away her wheelchair, but left her walker. She's pissed, but Sa-La-vie.

Either use it or lose it. She wants sympathy from me. I'll give her a little, but not a lot. Tough love? If you want something, get up and get it?

Exercise it, exercise it and exercise it. I'm seriously in the dog house right now. If you guys could send me a couple of doggie treats, and freshen my bowl of water, I'd really appreciate it!

It makes me sad that I won't be there either, Elaine, but we can celebrate just the same! I'll go out on the dock in Bonaire and raise a toast to Jerry every day I'm there. That's the only place I'd rather be, if I can't be in Amesbury.

Great Picture Timmmy, we are looking forward to meeting you and the rest of BT'rs who can make it on the 21st. We sadly missed meeting Jerry in Bonaire as we were diving,dving and diving (maybe it was Coral Spawning) we did take some Autan bug spray with us for Louise. If only!

Maggie,

I come from a long line of bulls....ers. My daddy taught me the tricks of the trade. If we came home late at night, without a good lie made up, my mom would spank both of our butts!!

She knew our story wasn't true, but she appreciated our efforts. I never liked the spankings, but dad seemed to? I could here them in their bedroom later?

Sooooo.....how far from the tree does the acorn fall?

See you guys next month!!

Linda :) So glad you will be able to be there!

I'm still waiting for my time to be approved...we just lost a dispatcher to a job in Virginia. Today is her last day and they put a "hold" on all vacation time that has been submitted over the past couple of weeks. Fingers have been tapping impatiently to see if I get the time or need to beg for someone to work my shifts for me on the 21st and 22nd. We WILL be there, one way or another!!!

Thanks Ruth. Sorry to hear you lost a dispatcher. :(
I'll be arriving NH late Friday night, so I don't know if I will be spending the night up there or driving south the same night.

Any advise as to hotels in or around Manchester would be welcome. Of course I will look on line, but advise is always welcome.

Freddie, I took Debbie's advise on going to Manchester instead of Boston. If it hadn't been for Denise picking me up in Boston in September I would still be driving around Boston. LOL!

Boston airport during late-night/early AM can be a pain since they tend to shut down an occasional access road or tunnel for whatever reason. So Manchester seems much better advice in this situation.
(Oddly, I've never flown via Manchester yet...)

Oh, good. I am a mess flying west/east, and will be ready to reset my watch and collapse. Jet lag clobbers me going in that direction.

I am so glad Eric is coming with me, wants to come with me. He watched my end of so many pranks with Jerry...I think he's feeling the loss a little too. He's a good guy...you'll like him...

OK,I felt like such a POS for not coming up, because of the Chesapeake Bay Blues Fest. I just talked to Kathi's best friend, Roberta. She is going to be me. AND I SHALL BE THERE!!!!!

Making all the reservations tonight, before Bonaire. Nuff said. Coming up Friday.

OK, I am flying out of the City of Brotherly Love at 1400, arriving in Manchester around 1500 something on Friday the 20th. I have a room booked, so there it is.

Roy, email me yesterday. LOL

Dinner on Friday night?

Tommy Boy? Fredreica? Poo? Tara? Rufus? Somebody talk to the brother.

Jim, what can I say? Will be playing that weekend pretty much as it comes but am damned happy you will be with us IN PERSON :):):)

Glad I checked in to read your post Jim, really am Brother. Was sitting her trying to jot down some thoughts, just a few memories but, they all run together. So, once again, I walked away without accomplishing a damned thing.

Put my head on my pillow and this old song started running through my head.

"The empty page before me now, the pen is in my hand
The words don't come so easy but I'm trying
I'm searching for a melody or some forgotten line
They can slip away from us so quickly
Don't be unkind I'm not complaining
I only feel it needs explaining"

Understand? I thought you might.

You might recognize it better here:

JIM! We are so happy you are able to join us!!! I actually have tears, knowing we will see you at Jerry's Celebration. Not sure what time we will actually be arriving, because we need to drop a kid off at my BFF's on the way up. Nightcap might do it though :)

Still generally being a newbie, just a little over 2 years here, I am looking forward to seeing, meeting in person and hearing memories that everyone has of our dear Jerry.

I am amazed at the continual love this family has for each other. I've said it before, but I am honored to be a part of this thing called BT/CC. And I love you all...

Wow, how cool is this...so many peeps coming in from all around the globe :) Tara, I like what you said about how many ripples Jerry left...he really did. I haven't made my plane reservations yet (probably tonight), but if I fly into Boston, it can't be any worse than the last time right PS???? LOL! ohy! Got lost in Boston, finally got to the hotel, Freddie scared the shite out of me...took 10 years off my life i swear!

CB, I'm glad Eric will be there. We got a text from our BFFs from AZ last night, it's her 50th birthday that weekend and her hubby is renting a limo, doing it up big. I had to sadly say, no, ain't no way I'm missing Jerry's celebration. M understood 100%. So Jim, M will be having the kind of weekend Kathy's going to have, and you and I will be at Jerry's celebration, and giving Louise a LOT of hugs...Louise, you better be ready to receive, because you are going to really get some in person and live support my lovely friend!

It brings me to tears, because I really don't think Jerry knew just how many lives he touched...I think that's part of what made him so special....
