I first met Jerry in the 70's at 3M. He was one of the first to welcome me and said if he could do anything to let him know. We became good friends.
He was such a wonderful, kind, caring person and a true gentleman.
I will never forget him.

As an "immigrant" to Minnesota, Jerry did more than anyone to help me get comfortable both in this new place to live and at 3M. From playing cribbage at lunch, to helping me fix things around the house, to explaining 3M's many test procedures and ways of doing business, he was always there with a helping hand and a smile. He has always been in my thoughts and will be greatly missed.

My heart is with all of you! From the day I met Jerry, a genuinely fine, endearing, kind-hearted, spiritually-minded, generous, twinkley-eyed man became my friend. His love for his heavenly Father, Jehovah (with whom Jerry's memory remains forever safe) and for his dear wife and family (whose hearts hold him forever close) truly exemplifies a life well-lived. Much love to you all!

Thinking of you all, sending love and prayers. Soon we will see him playing cribbage and the accordion again!
