Not sure what to say?

We are grateful that we were able to meet and work with Jerome for many years. He was a smart, pleasant person, and a well respected mentor to us.
To the family of Jerome, may you hold your dad/brother/uncle/grandpa’s memory close to your hearts forever.
With love and most sincere condolences,
Steve and Nancy and the team at Magnum Powder Coating

So very sorry and our sympathies go to the entire family. Jerome was a wonderful person and great businessman. I worked with the Portage Wire team for many years and Jerome lead by example. We know you will continue the business successfully. With much sympathy, Susan and Wayne Mead

Bob always treasured his cycling adventures with Jerome. Whether a sprint to Portage Point or logging hundreds of miles it was never dull. Jerome had a particular disdain for flat tires, steep hills and headwinds and he did not mind articulating that to Bob. He is so admired for his intelligence, wit, athleticism ,entrepreneur spirit, and exceptional mechanical agility. He leaves a deep lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Thoughts & prayers are with family & friends.
