Jerold Apps

I was a member of his class at the Clearing several times. I wrote of my life experiences on several occasions and to share with the class on several occasions. I enjoyed his classes very much.

Ruth made homemade jam my mom loved....Jerry and Cleo LOFTSGORDON would always talk about the next book...he will be missed. My condolences to church, family and friends. Thank you for the Memories, Jerry Apps.

Jerry is a Wisconsin, if not a national treasure. I never met the man, (except book signings) but I've read most of his published works. Surely he is looking down and watching the farm implements, wildlife, organic growth, people and taking it all in. What a life well lived. RIP Jerry,.

Dear Apps Family, We Wisconsin residents sure enjoyed the programs on PBS. RIP Jerry. In Heaven, plant a big garden, eat cake and On Wisconsin

Thanks for the wonderful shows about farm life, Jerry. RIP

Just watched the PBS life story on Jerry tonight..found it on YouTube. A very good story and it´s true- hard work at an early age builds a strong foundation for life. Definitely agree with the importance of being on time or better yet, showing up for work early and staying late to complete a job, that´s whats missing in many of today´s workers. Then I saw the date of the PBS show was 2012 so I went to see what Jerry´s been up to. Sad to see he JUST passed away like 3 weeks ago. My condolences...

A few years ago my wife, Jane, and I had the pleasure of hearing Jerry speak in Cassville. I soon began to feel a closeness to him as he told the story of his birth place on a farm in a house without indoor plumbing, electricity or heat. I too shared a similar beginning in 1939 on a dairy farm in Northeast Oklahoma. Jerry lost his wife of 63 years, I lost mine after 66 years of marriage. While my story is not as spectacular as Jerry's remarkable career I did manage to become a member of the...

Rest in peace Jerry.....Thank you for all of your writings and books....They will be appreciated by generations for years to come....

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
