Wow, I heard about your passing 3 days after it happened, and I haven't stopped thinking about you, (and crying, and you know I'm not a cryer) and everything you are/were to this world and all of those you touched. I'm so sad you were robbed of time, but I'm selfish I've had you since first grade. So many others didn't have you as long as I did. I remember our excitement for your dad to come read to our class, being fast friends bc we were both new kids (and I was first and PUMPED to show you around lol), how we laughed bc we could exchange looks and know exactly what each other was thinking. BJ, I know we had plans that will never happen now, but I promise I'm gonna have a drink for you at Santarpios, and your memory I will carry with me forever. I hope someday I can be 1/10th of who you were. xox

I'm so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing.He was such a very nice man. I always enjoyed watching the joy he got from working with his students.

My deepest condolences to you and your family! Jerry was a great guy and did an excellent job with the kids. He was always smiling and had a great presence!

Bill and I are incredibly sad to learn of BJ''s untimely death. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the entire family for your tragic loss. We hold fond memories of Greg & Kristen's wedding, and flying back to Boston with BJ. We regret we were unable

Met Jerry when we worked at the CDC (child development center) on Hanscom AFB. What a great person to meet and work with. He definitely found he calling with children. I'm sorry for your loss!

The 1st time I meet Jerry I was try to get my brother out the bus in English High, I will never forget you strongest, passion, and dedication with kids, Thanks Jerry for always be there for Jordy and I. My condolences for the family.

Liza, our hearts break in hearing of the loss of your beloved husband and best friend. Prayers for you, Molly and Jack. Lynn Marrone and family.

I worked with Jerry for a short time at CASH at BPS. I remember him as a great guy who was very excited to start the next chapter of his career at Charlestown High. I will keep Jerry and his family in my thoughts and prayers.

I am really sorry and sad for your lost Co. Wellman. My prayers for your son and all his family. Lilian Barquie.

Sending my condolences and so much love to Liza, Molly and Jack. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I only met Jerry once when I worked with Liza. But he seemed like a wonderful man and it was clear how much Liza loved him and how wonderful they were together. ❤️

He often talked about his children in class. You could tell he loved his wife and children so much. He loved his students and I enjoyed working with him .He just had a nice calm demeanor about him and would just put you at ease. I can see him now passing out "starburst" candy when students participated in class. It was an honor to work with him. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.

What a sad loss. I remember Jerry making me very welcome as a guest in the Wellman household when I first visited over 15 years ago and enjoyed meeting up with him on my annual trips with army cadets from 'across the pond'.

So sorry. He loved his family. I could always see. God has a new angel by his side. God bless

Thank you for pushing me and giving me hope as a coach and as a mentor you did so much and were a positive individual all around you will be missed so much and I wish the best for the family

It has been an honor to work with Jerry over the years at Charlestown High School. Jerry had a natural way of making his students and coworkers laugh and feel comfortable. Jerry's hard work and commitment to his students will always be remembered but his true passion was being a loving father and husband, our thoughts and prayers are with the Wellman Family Brian- CHS

He will be truly missed. Prayers to Liza, Molly, and Jack. He is your guardian angel watching over you. Your neighbor, Patty and Hughie

There's no words, Love, Hugs and Prayers for each of you. Such a wonderful man, such a terrible loss.
