January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

such a young man and he has made it and is a very good man. no drugs or booze
that i know of that alone is a giant step today. This has nothing to due with
what was said about Jon. This is a family having to still read bad about a
brother that helped all he knew. Can we not talk about the bad all the
time.Jerry was a great man made mistakes in his life but so much more good than
bad. Maybe if his own family focused on these the this kind of stuff wouldn't be
printed. All of you have a right to your opion as am I and i think it is wrong.
My dad alway said if you don't have something good to say about someone don't
say anything at all needless to say in print. |

all are too funny, you say everyone is entitles to their own opinion, yet when
people tell their opinions, you come down on them. The stuff thats said isn't a
lie, yes it was a long time ago, but maybe its the boys way of healing, ya ever
thought of that. So give him a break, and get over it. Let's get back to
boxing.|

GOOD MAN AND PERSON. THE MOST GIVING MAN THAT I WAS HONORED TO HAVE BEEN A PART
OF HIS LIFE. I HAVE NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR HOW JERRY CHOSE TO LIVE HIS LIFE IT
WAS HIS LIFE NO ONE ELSES. THE FEW THAT WANT TO BUILD THEMSELVES UP BY TRYING TO
MAKE JERRY LOOK BAD I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO BUILD YOURSELVES UP.
EVERYONE HAS A PAST AND FORTUNATELY THAT IS RIGHT WHERE IT STAYS WHY NOT LEAVE A
MAN WHO IS NO LONGER HERE ALLOWED TO REST IN PEACE AND LEAVE THE WRONG HE MIGHT
HAVE DONE TO REST ALSO. |

it sort of proves the point about Jerry---deceased for a few years, retired from
boxing (for all intents and purposes) since the 1970's, out of the public light
for a couple decades. And still, so many of us come here to offer opinions,
defend Jerry and his family---and get very emotional about it all. Why?
Because Jerry Quarry was a great boxer to some, but also a fine man to many
others. People (strangers, not just family members), talk about meeting him
many years ago, when he was on top---and how nice he was to them, giving them
time and making them feel like they belonged in his company. I'm sure he wasn't
perfect because none of us are. But he touched a lot of lives and I'm amazed at
how loyal his family and friends are to his memory. Had he merely been a good
boxer, he wouldn't inspire this many strong opinions. To Jonathan and all of
Jerry's family: Keep doing what you're doing! |

nice to see more of the Quarrys giving their input. Of course their views are
welcome here any time because it is because of their family that we are here at
this site at all.It is amazing, as Angelo points out, that we are still
talking about Jerry Quarry and his legacy.Now, I am going to talk about
some of the negative things I have gone through in my life and even though I
feel there has been more good than bad, HERE GOES! WHAT? NOBODY CARES? You
know what? I am even bored by this. Because my life has never made an impact
anywhere near what Jerry Quarry's life made and my life likely never
will.One thing I can say though, even though I have never been high on
the totem poll in the sports writing business, I have never exploited an athlete
for my own gain and even though I don't think the writer of this article was
using Jerry's name for these purposes, there have been many down through the
years who have done so shame on them!As a fan, I don't think the article
was too negative but if it was about my own family member, who I knew well and
loved,I might think differently.OH ONE MORE THING, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
THANK JONATHAN FOR HIS COMMITMENT TO SERVING OUR COUNTRY! GOOD LUCK IN THIS
ENDEAVOR!|
