“My deepest condolences to the family of whom I affectionately deemed the little Giant, Jerry Citron who was and will always be remembered as a shinning light. This candle is an everlasting reflection in remembrance of him. He was truly a unique "old school" one of a kind counselor. I love him and will forever be grateful to God for intersecting our lives together for the past twenty years. Be at Peace. Mark J Wallace”

“I met Jerry on my 1st day @ my job. Never worked downtown/used the trains. I was staring @ the door to go home & he came up & said the door is not going to get any bigger, its the right train, get your BLANK on. Since that day we sat 2gether on the train. He knew when I was sad. He'd call me if he was running late & I would get off the train & wait for him for the next train. I would meet him @ the corner of Wacker & Madison. I loved him, he had a huge impact on me 4ever. I feel empty. Cara”
