Jackie Tolbert wrote a sympathy message

“Jerry Yarnell was the best art teacher on PBS. He knew how to explain application and color in a way that was easy to understand. I watched his program every week for years. I saw every single one at least 3 times. I learned something new every time. My favorite was the old house with flowers in the yard.”
