Just wanted to give my condolences to the Kraus family and especially Renna. In remembering Jerry for all the years he was friends with my grandparents. Hans and Anna Waspi. Jerry and Grandpa worked at Coca Cola together. I remember how Jerry checked in on my Grandmother after my Grandfather passed away. He also was friends with my parents and consoled my Dad and brothers and I after the sudden loss of my mother. He was a dear and special family friend and will be missed. The best ones go in July. My mother died July 4th, 20 years ago...and my father just died July 14th, last year, also at 89yo. They must be up there now having a beer or 2 now!!!
Again, my condolences...and Renna if ever you wish to...call me at 415-479-2785...I understand the significance of your loss...Laura Kessler

I am sorry to hear about your loss of Jerry. He was always a special influence on me because he was a co-worker with my grandfather Hans Waspi and I was bless to be there to enjoy their banter of Coca Cola and retirement and share beer and "hi-balls" with the 2 of them.
