Dear Dressel family,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on Jerry's death. He served as general contractor for a major addition to our house in 1983...We still live in the same house and have enjoyed 31 years of pleasure from his expert craftsmanship and oversight. We hired him for another, smaller job years later and for advice on a deck...all of which he did meticulously and wonderfully well. Unlike many other contractors we interviewed, he had no trouble working with me (a woman) since I was "on site" during all the constructions...and his care, sound advice and beautiful work remain a fitting tribute to him to this day. I recommended him glowingly to anyone needing a contractor and always appreciated the warm friendship he had with me and my family over those years. He was a master at his craft and a wonderful human being....we will remember him fondly always. With our deepest sympathies, The Siebert family.
