We went t extend our deepest sympathies to Mary, Bill and all his family. He will be missed by many. Jerry kept a watchful eye on our neighborhood and always spoke to neighbors when out in the yard. His tomatoes were his pride and joy. I was continually amazed at the unusual flowers and vegetables he raised. Jerry was truly one of a kind. Don and Betty Heuermann
My dearest Kim, my deepest condolences to you and all of your family.
Praying for all of you,
Karol
I only recently became acquainted with Jerry at the YMCA. Sad to have not known this good man longer. I’m certain he will be missed. My sincerest sympathies to his wife, children and the rest of his family.
My deepest sympathy goes out to mary and all of his family. Jerry and i built a truck together while he was at good times body shop. That truck became my pride and joy. I will truly miss talking to him.
Mary and Family: Please accept my sincere condolences on Jerry’s passing. He was always a good fellow to share stories with at the YMCA. He kindly shared the fruits of his garden, particularly his yellow tomatoes which he knew I loved. I passed along some jams to him which he seemed to like.
He will be missed.
