Yes do tell ?

I am not doubting you Mary, but I have read a dozen pieces about Jerry since I heard of his death and in none of them, nor in anything else I can find, does it mention he abandoned his young son. It does mention his divorce, which apparently occurred when his son was young, but little about the circumstances. While I am not looking to cast aspersions on the recently departed, since you raised the issue, perhaps you could elaborate.

I've searched specifically for anything about this and come up completely empty. Pretty cruel statements upon a man's death if unsupported or untrue.

He is my all time favorite assistant college football coach.

Figures. At Minnesota State, during their dark years, the fans rallied around the "I blame Luther" mantra.

Loves to grandstand.

He got a black woman that he was dating pregnant. He abandoned her and ignored his son. Long ago story.

My birth father abandoned my mother and I so I tend to remember scumbags like Gerry.

 

[crayfish67]

You know this how as you misspelled his name ?

You misremembered his name. You have provided zero evidence that your story on JERRY Van Dyke has any factual basis.

Your unsubstantiated allegation might carry more weight if you would spell his name correctly.

 

[crayfish67]

Your unsubstantiated allegation might carry more weight if you would spend his name correctly.

Dude , might want to fix that

 

[crayfish67]

In total agreement though Pocono

One of my favorite TV moments is the Coach episode where everyone talks Luther into attending a family reunion or gathering after he hadn't had any contact with the family for years. At the reunion he makes the statement that no one even looks like him, and just then Dick Van Dyke walks by in the background.

Afterwards, Jerry said he wasn't going to be able to help carry Dick's career forever

I do believe Penn St defeated Minnesota St on one of the shows 31-6.
