Rip Jerry Lewis

The laughter and joy

This man did imbue us

Is vast beyond measure,

Our Dear Jerry Lewis ...

Oh, hearken the birds

Their new song of sorrow

For now we know why

Sol goes dark tomorrow.

He was far from perfect, but he worked hard to make this world a better place. Very sad to lose him. Blessings to you!

Cheryl Hoffman Date: 8/20/2017 8:33:00 PM Some of my favorite movies of his were, "Cinderfella", "The Disorderly Orderly" and the "Nutty Professor;" also loved to watch him on the MDA telethons…he will be missed! Very nice tribute Greg!~Che :) Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 8/20/2017 8:53:00 PM Those are my favs, too, Cheryl ... brilliant and kind man. So sad. <3

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/20/2017 5:24:00 PM gosh, I don't listen to the news much. Did he just die very recently? He stayed around by doing so much good with his telethons. They don't make them like his kind any more. Great tribute! Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 8/20/2017 8:51:00 PM Thanks, Andrea - yes, he died this morning.
