Miss you my little Jerry Cherry. When ever I think of you I get all fuzzy inside and smile big. You have not left us as we share many stories about you with our mutual friends. Thanks for the memories!

Jerry, so much present! You remain our leader and there is not a single trip of your friends who do not refer to this virus you inoculated us. Early this morning, Philip celebrated your birthday in the cold of Naples after having traveled a little of China, Vietnam and Thailand. A few months ago I was in English-speaking Africa and I will return to the Gorillas in June.
I wish so much you could be there to observe these beautifull animals.
You must be proud to have taught us how to travel. We will never forget you. Much love.

A big HELLO to all of Jerry's friends. Sure wish I could have met you and shared good times.

Four years later and I still have to remind myself sometimes that you're gone. Although, I subconsciously feel that you've never left. You continue to protect our family and work your magic in mysterious ways from the great beyond. I will never truly let you go. This life is but a temporary train stop in the grand scheme of things. One day, I will arrive at your station and that will certainly be a very joyous occasion.
Love always and forever, Your Bitsy

Four years and so present among us. Jerry you are a very special person for your relatives, for your friends. On July 23th 2012 I had the chance to save one of your voice message on my computer which I listen often. This is my little candy from you for ever. Love

Hey, Jer,

Miss you so much. Would love to see your "little face". My love is with you and I know yours with me. A big hug.

Lo

Dear friend,
Still miss you.. Terrace Dr. is not the same without you. I do see your house once in a while - Beverly is taking good care of it. But just not the same...
You are still in my thoughts and forever missed,

Thinking about you at impromptu moments: a spreading sunset, the quiet of walking alone in the woods, the smell of summer as it basks in sunshine. Our one season too short made such an impression so very, very long ago. Why does it not disappear from memory? Things that are golden are not supposed to last.

Jerry,
I miss you so much! Since you have been gone I take no vacations. I have built up over 400 hours! If I can't go with my buddy, I don't go.

Hi Jerry,

Remembering you today. Rest in Peace.

Tom

You are always in my heart and especially on a special day I listen to the songs, read the tributes and the memory is even so much clearer to me. I love you Jerry with all my heart and am forever grateful that I met you on that Ferry crossing to Isla Mujeres so many years ago. R.I.P. Jerry Hoy!

Our dearest friend, happy 73rd birthday! Here Dan and I are in Puerto Vallarto, talking about you a lot. Tonight we're going to your and our favorite restaurant Barcelona and sing happy birthday to you because we know you love that. Wish you were here so Dan would have someone to play scrabble and cards with and you could yell at me to get out of your kitchen. Oh how we miss you.

Hey, Jer,

Sure do miss you. So many times I want to call and speak with you. You are, however, in my heart forever and hope you are smiling down on all of us whose lives you touched.

All my love, Lo

A candle for your birthday today on my window so you can see it among all the candles in Paris.. The flame is still as vivid as during all these years we spend exchanging by phone or meeting places. I miss my Leader . Love, Andrée

Hi Jerry, late to send a sign; thinking so much about you, you are so present for me. Besitos

Thank you my dear friend for giving me so many wonderful memories. I love and miss you so much. You are truly one of my best friends that I know loved me unconditionally. Hope you are having a great journey my Jerrycherry!

Jerry--I miss you so much. You were my traveling buddy. Haven't traveled much since you left my friend. Love you!

Dear sir,
It's just not the same without you - i still miss our mornings in your warm room drinking my tea and visiting with you. You were one of my few best friends -
Miss you always,
Mike

My travel buddy....miss you so much!

Jerry's constant and abiding gift to others is to ALWAYS make them feel welcomed and the center of attention. His interest and compassion is such a huge blessing in my life. His life travels have blessed him with a clear understanding of himself, so he is entirely comfortable in his own skin. This in turn, allows all of us to connect so deeply with him; never a hint of fences or barriers. The kindness of your huge bonsai plant gift has kept you close, my friend; when i am near it i can hear your sweet words, and it seems you hear mine. You never really left, Jer .............whoopeeee!!

Hey, Jer, 

You are still so vivid in my mind and I miss your "little voice". Hope you are happy and watching over your family and friends who love you so much.

Lo

Remembering you today Jerry, and your spectacular send off at sunset.
You were surrounded by loving friends and family. I was rushing back to the hospital from Sacramento, Suddenly I felt your presence and peace which stopped my crying. Jerry, you were with me in that moment and you let me know you were fine. Then I felt your unconditional love beside me. Together we drove into a spectacular sunset as we crossed the bridge into Sonoma county. Jerry, it's been three years but you remain close in my heart and happiest memories. Much love always,

January 12, 1971 was an eventful day for me. It was the moment that my newly acquired roommate, Ike McDonald, introduced me to the Fell Street family. Jerry met me at the top of the stairs with a warm hug. I remember he smelled of patchouli scented soap and was wearing a soft flannel shirt with a beaded necklace around his neck. His long brown hair felt nice on the side of my face and as he stood back to evaluate me, I was captivated by his soft, shy, brown eyes, especially the way they turned into little smiles when he chuckled. He made the comment that I was his birthday present, and this unexpected testimonial put me at ease and made me feel welcome and special. Over the course of 11 months we shared countless wonderful experiences on a landscape colored with the vistas of RCA Beach, (my first mescaline), Amsterdam, Barcelona, Formentara and Tenerife, Canary Islands. My life was forever changed by the love and gentle guidance that Jerry so graciously gave, and that love -- though obscured by the lens of time -- has never diminished, never failed, and it is my hope that when I am called to step through the door I will find him there waiting for me.

Mr. Tom James put things quite stupendously!
Seeing these tributes gives me an amazing perspective as to the depth that Jerry enriched the lives of those around him and in his inner circle. Jerry truly was and still is an inspiration for aspiration.
Jerry inspired me personally to expand upon myself and evolve. Every time we came to visit him in the fog among the trees, I felt at home, welcomed and loved.
I, along with countless others miss him greatly. I too hope to see him when its my turn to ascend.

His family is celebrating Jerry's birthday together in San Francisco.
Jerry loved this city and introduced us to his favorite restaurants here
in the city. Jerry was often traveling to warmer places on
his birthday. But when he was in country we'd celebrate
together and gather the family at one of his favorite
places in SF. Today we'll remember and share our memories
of our brother, uncle, uncle in law, great uncle and unforgettable friend.

Hey, Jer,

Hope where you are you are celebrating your new life. I miss you with all my heart. Looking forward to spending time with Susan and family tomorrow and reminiscing about our times together with you. Loving you forever. Lo

Few days ago I thought to drop a comic wink like "if you were overhere Jerry, I would treat you with a huge cake like in Zacatecas with lots of goodies over for your birthday and then the sky got clouded here and I lost some time my train of thought, but I will never forget you mon ami whatever happen.

My dear friend; I miss you so much. You were the best traveling companion I have had in my lifetime. Rest in peace my wonderful friend.

Dear Friend,
Yesterday morning I scattered some of your ashes in a small redwood grove above our road. So part of you will always be here on Terrace Dr. and always in my heart.
I miss you!

Our lunch at The Tides (Sandpiper) was a really special treat. Never thought I'd see Bodega Bay, but you made it happen. Now, when I watch The Birds I remember that day and can see you at the table sipping wine with your grilled salmon. Sure wish there could have been more dinners like that one.

Hey, Ger, it's Lo. I miss you all the time my dear friend. No one can fill the space you hold in my heart and always will. I can still hear you saying, "Hey, Lo".... Sure hope wherever you are you are traveling with Michael and other friends and are happy. Love you forever, Lo

Jerry, my friend, the 'little voice' as you always call me is whispering how much missing you are. Love for ever. Today your bell rang.

Thinking about you this evening on the anniversary of your passing and wishing you were still with us, as usual. We love you dearly and know you're spirit still lingers from time to time. Your charm, wit, and amazing sense of humor is forever ingrained in my life and in the lives of many others..
With love your,
Bitsy

Still travelin' with you each and every day, Jer. One thing we still need to do is catch a ride north on one of those boxcars roll thru town. Just us two hobos. Looking forward to that. In the meantime, rest well my Sweet Prince. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, you little rascal.  Your friends forever, Jake & Cuong

longtime friends of Jerry, Philip and I were traveling in the footsteps of Jerry last October in Sicily. A Agrigento, Taormina and Mount Etna we lit candles to honor this love of travel that has instilled in us and brings us back to him at every moment. this January 12th is a very special day with much love from us.

Hey, Jer,

Thinking of you today. Wishing so much you were here as I miss you sooo much, especially since I won't hear your "little voice" in person again. I hear it in my mind, though. What a beautiful day on Mt. Tam with Susan, Mike, Linda, Byron and Nancy. Loving you always, Lo

I still miss my dear friend so much. We traveled together extensively throughout the world. Jerry was the best traveling companion I ever had in my lifetime. Jerry--I haven't traveled much since you left us. Rest in peach dear friend.

Missing you, knowing the telephone rings silent because you are not here physically to call me. Yet, you remain in my heart as you have always since the day we met crossing on the ferry to Isla Mujeres. Love you Jerry forever.

I still miss Jerry's e-mail's and pictures he used to send me here in the U.K. I can;t believe it is a whole year since his passing, wished I had got to know him better, I know he had a good sense of humour which was evident on the tour of California with him with Titan tours. He volunteered me to sing at a saloon and even had a poster made about it which he posted on the window of the bus

1 year ago, I lost the most precious man in my life (besides my husband).I added the song 'Silent Lucidity' to Jer's profile because it accurately reflects what this past year was like without him.He's for sure with us all,but it's still incredibly painful. I must APOLOGIZE to all of his amazing friends.I have neglected you from my own need to deny his passing.Please forgive me-Love, Bitsy

Jerry, almost a year already passed and you, still so present with us all. Tuesday your friend Philip and I will light a candle in Rome under the Great Cesar statue, just where you like to show on your picture when you travelled
As you always told us " I wish you were here ".
Much Love.

I remember taking a trip to NYC with Jerry. He was in a wheel chair and didn't want to go. I talked him into it. It was the best vacation I ever had. I would wheel my dear friend through the streets of New York screaming "Fat Lady coming through" My dear friend that memory will be with me forever!

Jerry my friend . We have know each other since Fell and Gough St. in San Francisco. I will miss our conversations through the years . My Ole Friend ..... Farewell , but always in my thoughts... Rest now .

I am from the U.K. and I met Jerry in 2004 on a Titan tour of California which was one of the best holidays I had been on. This was down to Jerry who was very friendly, full of fun and a wicked sense of humour. As a result we became friends and exchanged e-mail addresses so we could keep in touch. I wish we could have met up again. I miss his friendship and send my love to a lovely man.

Dear Cousin Jerry: We had so many conversations over the years, each October just before the Family Cousin Reunion, I would call to encourage you to come to our reunion. In 2009, you chose to come to the one in Mojave, CA! Ironically it was to memorialize your own Uncle George Rutan. At last we met as adults. My father insisted that we had met as young children! You were/are so sweet!

My sweet Uncle Jer (Eggs), It's incredibly difficult to come to terms with the fact that you're gone.You never had children of your own & as a young child I didn't have a dad,so we filled voids in each others lives. Thank you for gifting us, your family, with your wonderful array of friends-I can't wait to learn more about you through them. I'll love you forever & will miss you for always!

Oh Jerry, you said so often ""I wish you were here"",
today I'm way too far but so much in spirit with your Family and your so loving Friends. Hope to meet you again in Heaven and until then, rest in peace. Love

One of the fondest and most adventurous memories that I have ever had in my life was with Jerry. My brother, Lee, and the rest of the Hoy family drove down to Panama in Jerry’s VW bus in the 60’s. We had so many exciting experiences on the way down and also on the way back when we came back to California on a Japanese Freighter Ship.  Jerry was the catalyst that helped provide this first opport

My wonderful, memorable big brother, you have left many memories with me, so many fun times over all the years. Riding horses as kids, even once in more recent years, the trips down the river, and the family reunions. I know you continue to be surrounded by loved ones, on both sides of life, and know you are enjoying your journey.
