Gerald ALTENAU

Jerry, was a good friend and mentor to me as young man growing up around the Cincinnati Fire Department (CFD), Gerry always had a great attitude and disposition when we talked to each other at the firehouse or on the fire scenes. As a Box 13 member, Jerry would ride with Engine 19, and I would ride on Ladder 4 as a young man hanging around the firehouse. While I am now a successful member of the CFD, I have never forgot the people during my development that made a difference, Jerry took time...

Jerry was such a sweetheart! Loved waiting on him and his family. I will miss him! God bless you all and may he bring you peace. Patti Krauss from Sammys

We were so very sorry to hear of Jerry's passing, but his suffering is now ended and we know he is in a better place. Our prayers are with you, Pat, and the girls.

Jerry: Thank you for your leadership for so many years at the Bankers Club of Cincinnati. You were an icon at the Club! May you rest in peace.

From, Bill Kelleher and all of your friends at the Club.

Pat, Kim and Kristen,
A smile flashes over my face when I think of Jerry. He truly enjoyed life and the many organizations he was involved with. Our sincere sympathy and prayers to strengthen each one of you at this sad time.
God's blessings, Norma & Ed Longo and family

Jerry will always have a spot on the apparatus (RIG) he will be greatly missed, your sprit/soul will be with us forever more.. your friend Capt. W from the CFD. PS, I am sure Jerry is drinking coffee and swapping fire stories with the members on unit 5.

My husband and I knew Jerry in younger days while working at Pogues. I was delighted to meet him again years later at the Springfield Township Senior Center. He was so comforting when my husband passed away.

May he rest in peace. We are all better for having known him.
