Jerry always had a smile whenever i saw him. As a newly hired, he gave excellent advice to me and others through out his career.
RIP Jerry.
Jerry was one of the 121 “Brown-Bomber” employees that were transferred from Central Receiving Hospital to the LAFD in July of 1970. He promoted to Ambulance Attendant and continued working on EMT / BLS Ambulances for 24 years. After retirement, he assisted LAFD members as the Employee Assistance Director working at the UFLAC office. Jerry was a kind and caring, friendly guy. He took very good care of his patients, and his fellow first-responders. RIP Jerry.
Jerry you were a kind sole. You were always there to help your fellow man whether it being your EMS duties or in the Employee Assistance program at the union. You provided a good example for the rest of us to follow in our daily lives about caring for our fellow man. Rest in peace my friend your work is done. Duane Warth
Jerry,
The world is now a heavier place without your brightness. We will miss your kindness and smiles.
Jerry, there was a staunch lad. He cared deeply for his patients and always did his very best for them. Likewise, through his work in the EAP, he brought the same measure of hope and encouragement to his LAFD brothers and sisters.
Glad that I was able to see him earlier this year.
Repose in pace in aeternum.
R.I.P. my LAFD brother. You helped many of your LAFD family with your employee assistance service skills.
Jerry always kept me laughing with his “war”stories. Thanks for the memories. RIP brother.
Worked with Jerry at 21’s in 1981. He was a great mentor and taught us young guys how to respect EMS. Rest In Peace.
One of the true gentlemen on the job!! Met Jerry before l was on the job. Was one of my older brother first partners. Always had a smile on his face. After retiring from the job, was hired for UFLACs EAP . I would look forward to seeing him at the Uflac monthly meeting and catch up on life and talk of the good ole days. RIP Jerry.
I am so sad to hear the news of Jerry’s passing. He was one of my first partners when I came on the job back in the day. I learned so much from Jerry and I will miss him dearly. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. Rest in peace my good friend.
My first day on the Rescue was with Jerry at Fire Station 10. I knew absolutely nothing about EMS. Jerry taught me how to drive, work the gurney, assess patients and so much more. Jerry wouldn’t get mad when you made a mistake, he would just teach you how to do it right. As stated above he always had a smile on his face and was the consummate Paramedic, a credit to the City of Los Angeles. RIP Jerry, you were a Class act.
Jerry was such a tremendous example to us all. He taught us to have compassion for all. He did so much to help the fire service. I will miss the war stories and his smiling face.
What can we say about Jerry, except he was a one of a kind person. Always there when you needed a friend, for great advice or just to sit and laugh with! He will be sorely missed in this world. I loved waiting on him when he came into the credit union, constantly cracking a joke or 2. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family.
Jerry was fun to work with. Brand new on the job, we got dispatched on Rescue 21 into 2’s… I was driving. Jerry pulled out his pin and started tapping on the metal folding flat stretcher between the seats… Ding…Ding….Ding… Then he Keys the mic and says
Jerry: “OCD, Rescue 21…”
OCD: “Rescue 21 go…”
Jerry: “OCD, Rescue 21, can you send someone else, we are stopped by a train” the whole time with Ding….Ding…Ding… in the background….
NOW THAT”S FUNNY!!! RIP my friend.
