In his words:

"My brother Jerry, your passing has reminded me once more that death is the ultimate destiny of man. I am told by authorities that death is simply the separation of the spirit from the body, and the spirit does not die.

"For two people who were as close as both of us, I’d say it is a question of time. When my own spirit gets separated from my body, we shall meet again, we shall smile, we shall hug and we shall tell out jokes. Until then, goodby Jerry."
