I was so sorry to hear the terrible news. I wanted to let you know that I send you a lot of courage and a lot of good thoughts for you, Camryn, Lisa and Sylvia.

Best regards, Deborah Goldberg (Nuchowicz) from Israel

So many thoughts about Jerry have been kicking around in my head.  Maybe because the 3,000 miles from here to there have made it more unreal.  Maybe it’s the years and years from way back when to now that make it harder to accept that he is dead.  But Jerry would be the first to accept it.  He’d have his proof.  It’d be a fact.  That’s the way his mind worked, but if there is an afterlife, this is the way his mind still works.  And maybe it makes it easier for me to wonder and to hope.

As Nuchow  INLAWS, or as he might say OUT-LAWS, we shared and enjoyed a special bond.  Thanks to computers Jerry and I have enjoyed a virtual relationship over the past two decades.  Through the hundreds of e-mails, he shared interests and curiosity about the human condition, his anger with the evils of politics, his passion for art, his keen wit and sense of humor, his love of and pride in his family.

The last e-mail I received from him was October, 27 about a segment on TV on autism.  What an incredible mind.  That he and Sylvia were at the Occupy Long Beach rally was so fitting, so appropriate to the life they shared.  Whatever he may have ‘forgotten’ lately, was slight compared to all he still could remember, all he knew, which was so very much more than mere mortals.  He leaves much of  that to Karl and Lisa and Camryn, to Micah and Noah and Milo, to the many, many, many who had the privilege of being his students, and to those of us who were his friends.

I will not delete his e-mail address, just in case he was wrong, and just in case he finds a way to communicate with us.

I'm so sorry.  So sorry. Thank you for keeping me in the loop.  If there's anything I can do, please let me know.

My love to you and the entire family, I will truly miss your father, truly...sadness fills my heart. Many hugs to all of you,

I'm so sorry. I'm so glad to have had the privilege of knowing Jerry, even for a short time. Over the summer several people said to me, "If only you'd known Jerry before; he was so brilliant," or a variation on this. I found Jerry to be one of the most brilliant and inspiring people I have ever met. His death is a great loss.

So sorry to hear this about Jerry’s passing.
Please let me know the plans and if I can help in any way. Right now I am in some work transition and could come and stay with Sylvia for a bit if you needed me to do that. My thoughts go with you and your family,

Very sad.....but as an author I'm reading now writes, some die but others leave.....and Jerry has left us....a great memory...high thoughts....risk-taking beliefs...and several rather fine kids.  I feel lucky to have known him.  My best to your mom..........always,
Love and all good stuff to the rest of the Manheim's.

So sorry to here this news Karl. I'll call soon but I assume your number will be busy most of the day and wanted to get this condolence off to you. Marie and I had such fondness and respect for your dad. As far as we're concerned he was one of the world's superstars--to us a hero and model.
