Jerome "Jerry" Bour Jr.

I am so sorry for you loss. I met Jerry at work 9 years ago and he always made me laugh and was one of the nicest people I knew. He was a quality man. He will be missed.

My prayers go out to you and your family Tom.

I worked with Jerry at the Cottage Grove Target store back in the early 1990's. I was notified of his passing from friends last week and unable to attend the visitation or the funeral. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope your family can take comfort in knowing how many people's lives and hearts he touched. My deepest sympathies.

Dearest Gilda and family,
My heart is heavy for you and your family in this difficult time. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tom & Family, I am sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear family, l never new Jerry, but l was deeply moved by reading this guest book for Jerry. l can tell he was a great husband, Father, and friend to all he met. May we all strive to be more like that in our every day living. May God richly bless you and allow Him to fill the void in your hearts.

Jerry was a wonderful colleague. Each day that we had the opportunity to work together he made me laugh. I remember the first day i returned to work after my father had passed away... i was sitting outside of the "hump tower" with tears in my eyes. Jerry put his hand on my shoulder and sat with me for 20 minutes. He had an amazing way of comforting people. I am forever grateful for his friendship. He was a wonderful man. His family will forever be in my prayers. God Bless.

Jerry will always be in my heart. I didn't know him well, or even see him as much as others did -but when we did hang out he was always so funny, he picked up on little details and could crack a joke on just the littest things. Jerry exploited your weakness, and made your weakness become funny, no matter what it was. <3

I remember Jerry as a childhood friend. While watching my daughters laugh and play, I often think back to my days as a little boy growing up in south Maplewood. I cherish those times spent with Jerry.
