J.J. was a delight. I will always remember him making anyone in his presence smile and laugh. 
He brought joy into the world and will be missed by many.

Jere made work fun. He was always ready to lend a hand and I never heard him complain about anything. He was missed at work when he retired and will be missed on Earth now. Condolences to the family and friends.

My prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Jere. I worked with him for many years and enjoyed his warm personality. His memory and spirit will always be with us.

I am incredably saddened by Jere’s passing.  I know of no one who spoke unkindly about him.  He was a man that lived life and enjoyed seeing others happy and most of the time he brought that happiness into the situation.  Just the kind of person that if duplicated would make this world so much better.  The class of ’70 has lost another very fine member. Unfortunately our family will be out of town the date of his memorial service but my friend may you rest in peace and may I express my sincere sympathy to the family and to those who loved him!

My mother grew up across the street from Jere, and when I was a child, he was our neighbor. Jere once dressed in a Santa suit when I was about 3, and walked down the street past our house. He left a voicemail on our home answering machine as Santa.
As a child, I always called him by his full name, “JereJohnson,” all in a single breath, like it was one word. My family still uses “JereJohnson” to speak of him sometimes in humor.
Jere was a frequent feature at holidays and parties. He came to my wedding, dressed so wonderfully I had the photographer take a portrait of him.
