jerry wyss

[Ted buckley]

It is with Saddend heart that Lance called me last night(after getting a call from Jilanda)Jerry's Wife - that Jerry Wyss has passed away @ 13:59p.m. Pacific Time. This is a very Sad Day. Jilanda has told Lance that Jerry's Family has been keeping a close eye on this thread and appreciate all the nice post spoken of Jerry. I know there is another thread going on about the Donation drive and to remind everyone that Jerry no longer has a PayPal account since closing down his business(According to Jilanda) and that the Donations can be sent to the Mailing address stated on this Thread. Please keep in mind, that Jerry has had No Life insurance regarding the illness matter and anything to help Donate to the Wyss family will/would be greatly appreciated. Lance will update this Thread with more details. Sorry, I'm just the messenger.

My Prayers and Heartfilled thoughts go out to the Wyss family.

Ted Buckley.

Ted, Alden is collecting money through his paypal for Jerry. So anyone who wants to donate can do so that way also. And this does suck. Sleep easy my friend!!!!

For jerry's sake,,,im glad the suffering is over for him,,and he can be at peace...For his family a new page of grief,,,which i would give the world to take away...jerry was beautiful man with a very big heart,,,and would help anyone when he could...he would constantly remind everyone that he wanted them to succeed in what they were working on or doing...again i will miss this man horribly,,for the rest of my days on this earth... we all love ya dubsy,,and you helped us all wether you knew it or not..THANK YOU MY FRIEND....

yes i have started a donation collection for jerry's family...which is going well,,,and will help for sure...the donation drive im supporting will go on till the 1st of the month....but if you would like to send funds and possibly a card to the address i listed above,,,,please,,,please do...it doesnt matter how it gets to jerry's wife,,,as long as it gets there...

I will always and forever be in debt to this man,,,,and the donation drive is my last resort to repay this man for everything he did for me,,and others,,,as i will never be able to any other way,,,which deeply,,deeply saddens me...

Rodney & Alden, I just mentioned that - so you weren't looking for a PayPal account on Jerry's end to transfer any funds. He doesn't have one - nor does his Wife. Just F.Y.I.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Jerry one year at the world tunnel boat championships. He had made the trip down with dunny and Mike Z he really seamed to be down to earth and a really nice guy. not sure how much of our conversations over the week end he understood. :blink:

With the world going to hell and a handbag he really is a lucky man. our thaughts and prayers go out to his family and his friends.

Farewell my friend, you'll be racing tunnels in calm winds,on ponds without weeds.

It hurts the IW and model boating community when someone who gave so much disappears from this site and his family. Rest easy J Dub every time I hear Thunder Tiger I will think J Dub.

May the calm waters in heaven treat you well Jerry. God bless and prayers are with your family. Take care my friend and watch over are TT engines!!!

Wow ! To the people here that know me, I am very seldom without words, But this one dropped my jaw.....

Gosh I dont know where to begin....

Jerry was one of the most kind and generous guys here, We had so many good times with the posts,

And in the chat Jerry was just crazy to argue with and make jokes bout stuff.

I never meet him except here at IW, But after you spend hours online talking and sending pics

you can get a feel on how they really are.

Jer you will be missed my friend,

And all the best to the family.
