Jerry was often in our Elections Office. He was colorful and always a gentleman. On behalf of the Contra Costa Elections Office, our sympathies to his family.

That is not entirely true, Arne. Jerry attended one of our CCRP meetings last year after I asked him to attend. (Perhaps you also invited him)? At that meeting, I gave an update on the Fed audit bill HR 1207, a piece of legislation Jerry mutually supported. However, at the beginning of the following meeting, our then-Chairman Greg Poulos emphatically stated at he was conducting the Contra Costa *Republican* Party meeting, and that Libertarians were most definitely not welcome, and if any were present that they should leave. Greg apparently believed Jerry was a member of the LP, rather than the AIP.

It is very sad to hear of the passing of my friend Jerry Denham.

Jerry was a gentleman and always ready to enter a discussion about our country. He was well versed in constitutional law and I always enjoyed my conversation with him.

Jerry would often attend Republican events in Contra Costa and he was always welcomed to participate in our discussions. He will be missed.
