Jerry once told me he thought we were the most unlikely of friends and he was surprised we'd grown so close. He was right on one count: we were very, very different people - but I loved his honesty & his candor (I think this was mutual), and I delighted in his humor & his wit (and was was in total awe of his lightning-fast puns). Maybe the highest compliment anyone could ever wish for was Jerry's: I never met anyone who didn't like him. Never.
