January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Cypress.I was only about 6 or 7 at the time but I remember what a great
guy Jerry was. Always helpful when the family needed something.Here are
a few of the other things I remember:Wife at the time (forget her name)
had a cauliflower ear.Little Jerry was around.Mike was jumping
of the second story of Jerrys roof into the pool.My dad was quite good
around the yard, had a great lawn. Jerry asked him for advice. My dad explained
fertalizer, manure, etc.. Jerry ended up putting a ton of manure on his lawn and
burned it to a crisp.My dad was building a patio once. Need a huge beam
lifted into place. Jerry lifted it like it was nothing.I saw Jerry doing
a commercial for mobile homes on the mid 80's. I think it was in Stanton. I went
for a visit one day, he still remembered me and my family.Sorry to hear
about his passing, he was a good guy.|

seems as though most people who knew Jerry and know the Quarrys on a personal
level have only good things to say about them. I liked reading your
recollection of growing up in Jerry's neighborhood. It doesn't surprise me that
Jerry was strong enough to lift the building materials---did you see him compete
on ABC's "The Superstars?" Good athlete. |

involved Jerry Quarry! Thank you. But what was the deal with the wife's ear?
That was a bit unsettling. Noam, the way you snuck that barb in, I
thought you were testing my small intellect for reading comprehension. I almost
missed it. But you know I hang on your every word.The joke was bad, but
better than your civics lesson re: the meaning of free speech. I guess I
have to cut you some slack, considering all the head trauma you suffered in
whatever sport it was that you obviously excelled in. (Humor)I will say
that mild insults are prefered to the usual. We're making progress. If they
get wind of it, perhaps Kent and Forest will return someday.|

Marciano had the shortest reach at 68". At least that's what I read. |

young boy told an older boy to shut up then slapped him. The young boy ran all
the way home. When the young boy got inside and told his daddy what happened,
the daddy was furious. The older boy was soon banging on the windows of the
house. Go out and finish what you started said the daddy. One hour and one
whipping later the young boy came in crying. Don't you ever start what you
can't finish said the daddy. It aint finished yet.|

might be borderline genius. There are subliminal messages in his posts. If you
go back and read, and re-read, you'll start to get the vibe. He's painting
quite a picture. I can say with 100% certainty that if I came face to face with
Bernard in a dark alley, I would step to the side and let Bernard pass without
incident. Bernard rules his environment. Treat Bernard with respect, and
you'll survive, even thrive. Give Bernard a hard time, and you'll pay with your
dignity. Bernard rules. |

should write a book: "Philly streets". Hey Stallion, what do you think of
Mitchell "The Blood" Green ? He against Bernard who is gonna win ?|
|8/9/05 02:35:19 PM|Pete|Cleveland||N/A||||10|Noam, I think I know what you are
trying to say to Stallion regarding Deliverance. I think it is similar to what
you said in earlier posts about Forrest/Fan regarding repressed homosexual
feeling about Joe Frazier. Were you serious then or just joking? Am I right
about Stallion and Deliverance?|

Daniels: After the loss to Frazier, Terry Daniels fought 24 more times, and
compiled a record of 4 wins and 20 losses. This might be a record in futility
for anybody who has ever fought for a World Title. It's almost unbelievable.
