January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

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.
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.|

Angelo, I'm with you and I don't know how anyone can blame Ali for
threats against Frazier. Ali wasn't responsible for the threats and no one can
seriously allege that he countenanced or encouraged them. It wasn't his
doing.When Ali fought Jerry Quarry the first time straight after his
exile, Ali had many death threats made against him. Jerry and his camp had
nothing to do with those threats. Ali never blamed them. It was the doing of
loonies and full-mooners and red necks who hated Ali no matter what and we've
heard from a few of them here. This hatred of Ali is keeping some of these guys
awake at night, barking at the moon. Woof woof.|

around the world? I guess when he says "traveling the world" he means stepping
out of his parent's basement for a little while. Mad props to Noam for exploring
the universe.|

and tribute to Mr. Quarry. I think members of his family have probably been
busy and in mourning since his death, without too many opportunities to visit
the site. Nice job.Sam: Thank you and likewise. Noam: That last one
has my name on it, but it's not my post! It's still kinda funny though. Now,
the same guy can log on as you and bash me.|

to learn of my Grandfather's passing. I will always have good memories of a man
that treated my sisters, brothers and I with kindness and love. I remember the
Lifesaver book he would give us at Christmas. Grandpa, I hope you are dancing on
the glorious streets of heaven with Dad and Uncle Jerry. You will be missed. And
for all you hater's out there, show some respect for the Quarry family. God
Bless.|

on this web site since my dad passed away, at least it seems that way. I am a
bit disappointed in the rude comments being posted, not disappointed in my
sister though you go girl!! This site is not for vulgarity and/or profanity,
show some respect for what Jimmy Quarry accomplished, and for his tribute to his
brothers.|
