Joyce, I was indeed saddened to hear of Jerry's passing away. I so enjoyed the twinkle in his eye and his calm manner even when all around him was hectic. He was one of my favorite volunteers and a real asset to the hospital. He is missed.

Dear Joyce and Margie:

So sorry to read about Jerry. Our families go back a long way, as my mother recalled today the Engles in Pewaukee she knew when she grew up in Waukesha. Plus, the next generation was all together at Nicolet.

We extend our sympathy and hope that wonderful memories will comfort you and your family at this sad time.
