Not sure what to say?

We are very thankful for the time we got to spend with Jerry and are grateful that he and Cathy came into our lives. We will cherish our memories at the Final Four together. Jerry was a caring mentor and friend who will be missed by many. Sincere condolences to Cathy and the family. Sarah and Zach Robertson

Uncle Jerry was a caring, inspirational, kind & loving uncle & brother to his Krause family. We all loved him and couldn't see him often enough, although we all knew he was a busy, driven man who was an inspiration to us all.

Dear Cathy.... I can´t tell you how special our dear coach was to me, and always will be. I have been thinking of you so much during this sad time of loss. Hearing about you from my dear dear friends, Harry and Jann Green (I graduated from high school with Jann). Yes, hearing about you from them and how very happy you and Coach were together and then seeing you both together at a Gonzaga basketball game was truly seeing an answered prayer for my heart!! Ever since meeting him back in...

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest In Peace.

I had the pleasure of helping Coach Krause design and make some "shooters rims" many years ago. I envied all of the players he coached and wished I had a coach like him growing up. He was a great man and you could tell that by just talking to him! Rip Coach

Thank you Coach Krause for your mentorship and friendship through the years. Your kindness, knowledge and "dry wit" were a treat whether as an EWU Program Assistant or school administrator your willingness to answer a phone call or letter were always appreciated. May you Rest in Peace knowing you left those around you better. God Bless Dave Balcom EWU '81 and '89
