Title: Jerry Josephs
Post by: Carl Heinz on August 18, 2009, 11:45:08 AM
Jerry Josephs is a mainstay in the Guild of St Cuthbert at the Northern California Renaissance Faire.

Jerry suffered a stroke this last Thursday and was placed in a chemically induced coma.

We Southern Cuthberts are presently attempting to learn more, but your good wishes will be appreciated.

Unfortunately, Jerry will be taken off of life support on Thursday.

We all hope that he'll just open his eyes and say someting like "It's only three weeks until opening.  We have to get busy."

Jerry has been a central figure in the construction of the Cuthbert environmental areas at Northern California events for many years.  He is also a member of the management team for the LLC which includes the Guild of St Cuthbert.

If he doesn't wake up, we will have lost a major member, friend, and a long time lover of renaissance faires.

I'm so sorry to hear that Carl, how sad. I shall say a special prayer for him and you all at this time.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very difficult time for them.

Jerry left us at 10 yesterday evening.

Our thanks to Alan Daurie who posted the link to Mathew Hewitt's collection of pictures of Jerry on Facebook.  http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=628875&id=1315606317#/photo.php?pid=628875&id=1315606317

I'm so sorry. My thoughts go to the family.
One thing that really struck me was what a kind face Jerry has. 

And what a loss to his family and friends.
