January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

U.S. Congress in 2000. As fate would have it, the only boxing organizations
that lent their support to the passage of that bill were the AAIB and the JQF.
Mr. Jack Quarry was always kind, gracious, and polite towards me; he had many
great boxing memories both about his sons and many others in this sport. And
yes, he did have the letters "H A R D L U C K" tatooed on his fingers. My
deepest condolences to all of the Quarry family members on this terrible loss.
I will pray for all of you to recover from this unfortunate setback of the death
of another member of your family.|

became sad after reading of the death of Mr. Jack Quarry. I had the good
fortune of visiting him on a number of occasions when he lived in Savage,
Maryland and later in Crofton, Maryland from 1996 until 2001. After that, I
spoke to him on at least one occasion during 2002 after he had relocated back to
California. I once spent a whole day with him when I took him to Baltimore to
enroll him as a paient in the Veterans Administration Hospital in Baltimore in
1998. About a year later we met up with James Quarry in that same city and
attended the 1999 convention of the Association of Boxing Commissioners in
Baltimore where we were interviewed together for a radio show, the contents of
which once was present on this website. Furthermore, at that same event, I
later gave an enthusiastic speech stating that both the Jerry Quarry Foundation
and the American Association for the Improvement of Boxing (AAIB) both strongly
favored the passage of the Muhammed Ali Boxing Reform Act---which did pass the
U.S. Congress in 2000. As fate would have it, the only boxing organizations
that lent their support to the passage of that bill were the AAIB and the JQF.
