January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

thing about you, you showed it proudly for all to enjoy.When you started
high school, you made a promise to stick to the books and to graduate, for this
your brother and I gave you a car and an allowance. You studied hard, you kept
your word, you graduated and made us all proud. And you did it because you
wanted to box, you wanted to share in the excitement of boxing with your
brothers.You deserved better from the boxing world. You deserved better
from your wives. You deserved better from your doctors. These things I won't
forget. Each night I will ask god to bless you with happiness and to give you
all that you missed out on here on earth.You learned your lessons in
life, and I guess our father needed you more than us.I'll remember to
bring you a salt shaker, when I come to see you for the last time here on earth.
It will have to do until I see you next in our "Fathers" house.Make room
for me, I'll see you soon as will all of us.your sister-in-lawkate|

sad to hear that Mike Quarry has passed from this Earth.The world is a
lessor place without him.As I have said, Mike was a very good boxer but
more importantly he was a decent human being.Although I only met him
briefly, I will never forget the conversations I had with him. My heart
goes out to the Quarry family on their loss. GOD BLESS THE QUARRY FAMILY!|

these sad times. Growing up Irish in N.Y. I idolized Jerry Quarry, and then his
brother, Mike. I always rooted for the brothers in all their fights. My thanks
to them both for improving my childhood through boxing. I just hope that Jerry
and Mike's struggles in later years helps boxing to continue to improve ways to
ensure boxer's health, now and in the later years of their lives.|

condolences to the Quarry family and their friends regarding the death of
Michael. His life and boxing career obviously helped inspire the establishment
of the Foundation and its mission. And, from what I was told, he did a pretty
good impersonation of Muhammed Ali on the telephone, at least in the opinion of
his brother Jerry !!|
