Jerry... you have been cleared for landing
Jerry and Karen




Our very dear friend Jerry Heiser flew away from us on November 15.




White King and Queen









Many of you have admired Jerry's imaginative sculptures over the years. His chess set has practically become a tourist attraction.  If you haven't taken a peek at his work recently, please click on any photo to go to his web page.


Jerry Heiser 
Trojan Armour-dillo on the Eve of Deception











Jerry fought a long and courageous battle against glioblastoma.  He held his own for a very long time, while continuing to produce amazing sculpture. Jerry's insightful commentary on life, and his wonderful sense of humor, never wavered.



Elliot, You are Cleared for Landing






Another of Jerry's most popular sculptures was
Elliot, You Are Cleared for Landing.  People still come in looking for Elliot, though he was sold several years ago.

Jerry's friend Gary Goldstein presented Jerry with the Lifetime Achievement Award shown below.  The award reads:
Lifetime Achievement Award
Presented to
Joseph "Jerry" Heiser
In Recognition of his Excellence As
Guardian Angel and Defender of the Arts
Against all that is Dull, Insipid, Trivial, Mediocre
Pretentious, or Just Plain Stupid. 
This is the Thanks Of a Grateful Public

Jerry Heiser




















We will miss you, Jerry.  But I'll bet you are redesigning the Pearly Gates as we speak.  And I know they'll be great.

Love you.........
