Jerry Hanlon is being remembered by former colleagues, friends, and members of the Corona College community following news of his passing. Those who knew him have begun sharing memories of a man whose kindness and dedication made a lasting impression during his years as an educator. For many, the news has brought back memories of the time they spent working alongside him and the friendships they built over the years.
Corona College shared a heartfelt tribute on Facebook, expressing sadness over the loss of its former colleague. The institution remembered Hanlon as a genuinely kind person whose presence made a difference to those around him. Its message also reflected the respect and appreciation he earned during his time with the college.
Hanlon worked at Corona College from 2015 to 2019 as an Adult Basic Education (ABE) Math and Science Instructor. His role involved teaching adult learners mathematics and science while helping them improve their academic knowledge and work toward their educational goals.
Teaching adult students often means working with people who have different educational backgrounds and learning needs. Hanlon took on that responsibility during his time at the institution, sharing his knowledge and helping students strengthen their understanding of important subjects. His contribution became part of his connection with the college community.
Although his employment with Corona College ended in 2019, former colleagues have continued to remember the time they shared with him. The college expressed gratitude for having had the opportunity to work alongside him and acknowledged the memories he left behind.
One of the personal tributes came from Fred Hiscock, who described Hanlon as a longtime friend. In a Facebook message, Hiscock reflected on their friendship and the good times they shared over the years. His words offered a personal glimpse into a relationship that went beyond professional connections.
Hiscock’s message also expressed the sadness of losing someone he had known for so long. He offered a peaceful farewell to his friend, expressing the hope that they would meet again someday. His tribute showed just how much Hanlon meant to the people who knew him outside the workplace.
Corona College also extended its condolences to Hanlon’s family, friends, former coworkers, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. The institution made it clear that he would be missed and would always remain part of its college family.
For his former students, Hanlon is remembered through the lessons he taught and the knowledge he shared. For his colleagues, there are memories of the years they worked together. And for longtime friends such as Hiscock, his passing means losing someone with whom they shared years of personal memories.
The circumstances surrounding Hanlon’s death, his age, and the date of his passing have not been provided in the available tributes. Funeral arrangements and details of any memorial service have also not been announced in the information available.
As tributes continue to reflect on his life, one thing stands out: Jerry Hanlon was more than a former instructor at Corona College. He was a friend, a colleague, and someone whose presence mattered to the people around him. His memory will remain with those who had the opportunity to know him. May he rest in peace.
