Mr. Gage was a great man, an excellent educator and made a huge impact on my life. I never really believed I could go to college and do well. I would not have had the notion to attend a four year University and finish my degree programs without the confidence Mr. Gage built up in me. We had a lot of fun and learned many things in Mr. Gage and Mr. Tubbs RFO program. I am thankful for my time there and with him.

Dear Ouida,So sorry to hear of you loss of Jerry. He was a great guy and you two have a wonderful family.
Mr. Gage made the comment once that the RFO class of 2000 was the best class he had ever had. He may have had told this to every class he had. To us he was the best professor we had with his sidekick Tubbs. He will be missed by many. RFO Class of 2000Dusty Engelke
Mr. Gage was a great teacher and mentor. He will be greatly missed.
Thoughts and prayers are with you!
We are really sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was one of the most honest men I knew and will be really missed
Mr. Gage was the first college professor that I had when I started my college experience in Clarendon CollegeI remember in the interveiw he asked me what subject was my hardest in high school. He knew because he had my grades. I told him I struggled with math. He told me if I would try they would try to get me through the program. I got through the program and went on to get a four year degree. I knew Mr. Gage was a man of his word and he would not let me fail if I would just needed to help my self. Thank you Mr. Gage for believing in me. Brad Clement
Rest in Peace Mr. Gage. You made a great impact on my life. RFO Class 1981-1982
Jerry was a special friend and I enjoyed working with him at ASCS. He was hard working, coconscious, and a loyal friend. If Gage told you something, you could take it to the bank. Our prayers go with you and your family.
Jay, and family, Our prayers are with you at this time. God's comfort and peace be with you.
