The passing of Jerry Ellis deeply saddened me especially after dealing with
the loss of my husband Jerry Herlihy. Jerry and Jerry worked together for
many years before Herlihy turned the program over to Ellis and Jerry Ellis
did an excellent job carrying on the legacy of the TRIO program. I met
Jerry Ellis while a student in college and he helped me immensely in my
pursuit of my degree especially with my imposter syndrome. He for one
really understood what that was really about. His calm, his patience, his
ability to listen, his ability to lead will all be sorely missed in the
TRIO world and we can not thank him enough for all of the lives he touched
both professionally, personally and as colleagues. If we could think of
something to do in his honor to commemorate his work and legacy we should
probably do something.
In sadness of the loss of another great TRIO leader
Best
