Gerald Carl Forstner Jr.

So sorry for your loss! Jerry was my first real boss and a friend when I needed it most. I worked in his small machine shop on Rockwell Ave over 60 years ago. He eventually grew and got bigger and moved to E 152nd street. Worked my way up to Forman. It was a great learning experience. But mostly I am forever grateful for his help in getting my draft class changed not because I did not want to serve my country, but because he knew I was the sole support of my mother. The whole course of my...

I will always remember our block parties on SW 57th Terrace in Cape Coral, and the unbelievable Christmas parties in their incredible home. Jerry (and Libby) greeted me as if he/she had always known me when I was a new neighbor and a new bride to Mike, the street mayor. Jerry was kind and had a wonderful smile and laughter. Thank you for making me feel welcome.

We are so very sorry to hear of Jerry's passing! He was a fountain of information and help to us whenever we asked his opinion. His wisdom and kindness will be forever missed. Fallengrund Alpacas Michael and Lynne Faller

I was blessed to be able to spend time with Jerry and learn from him. He made me laugh and made me cry - but far far more laughter. He held a very special place in my heart and will always be deeply missed. Prayers to his family and friends. Jerry was a unique human being and a wonderful force of nature who made an impression on everyone who crossed his path.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I met Jerry in 1984 while employed by Pennzoil. He was interested in our Fast Oil Change Lube Center business concepts of changing oil in your car, remaining inside the vehicle until service was complete. Jerry and his business partner Tim, took our business profiles, moderated them, building 35 successful Fast Oil Change stores throughout the Cleveland Metro area. This period of time was exciting - there never was a dull moment . Jerry was born with entrepreneurial spirit. Every...

We´ve had nothing but love and respect for Jerry since our early alpaca show days. He leaves an enormous void in the alpaca community and will be so very missed.

I am so sorry to hear that Jerry passed away. I think of him and his family often. The world has lost a unique and interesting person. Rick and I spent time with Jerry at the alpaca shows. We loved him dearly and sought his advice frequently. To you Libby, my prayers are with you. As a surviving spouse, I have some idea of what you are experiencing. Rick and Jerry are in heaven right now pulling tricks on Dave Gronaur, like calling his cell while he's actively showing an alpaca (and he...

My sister and I will always remember the good times we had going to Uncle Jerry's as kids. Will never forget you. Wish I made to the farm with the grandkids. Love you Uncle Jerry
