Jerry Strang

Petie: I was deeply saddened to hear of Jerry's passing. We went through High School and played sports together, he was an outstanding friend and I never heard him speak ill of anyone. He will be missed by all that knew him and his passing is a real loss to us all. I do remember that he always took his golf very seriously.
He was a really good man, father and husband. My best wishes to you all.

How comforting to know that Jerry has been welcomed into the community of Heaven by his devoted family members and his family of friends. It was our honor to know and love Jerry.
"A life well-lived cannot be diminished by death. The beauty, guidance, and inspiration it gave us will shine on as brightly as ever."

Petie, you and Jerry were long time patients of mine and more than that I considered you friends. Good Alaskan friends. Jerry was a first class Alaskan and human being...My prayers are with you. Dr. Bill and Marty Day

Petie,
You and Jerry were one of the first couples my husband and I met when we arrived at Holy Family Cathedral in 1991. We weren't sure it was the parish for us, but Jerry's encouragement to give it a chance allowed us to put down roots in a very special church. Although we only saw you both on occasion, we always knew we would be greeted with big smiles and caring inquires as to how we were doing. And then running into you both near the entrance to Wells Fargo at the ASRC building...

Dear Petie, We know that Jerry had a lot of Problems and was in a lot of pain. He is at rest now and will be missed by so many people. Our prayers are with you now. I think of you often.
Love, Leona & Carl

Petie, Sorry for your loss, Jerry and you were a great team through life. My best to you during this time. Love you and your great neck rubs. Carolyn Greiner (Eagle River, AK)

Petie,
How fortunate I feel seeing the two of you at Vicky's 70th celebration last summer. When he walked in the door with outstretched arms and a huge smile saying, "Oh, my", "Oh, my", I recognized his very essence. It was the highlight of the trip!! My arms are around you and family as you mourn his passing and, most importantly, remember his loving light.

I'm glad to have known you Jerry. I'm going to miss our paths crossing around town as they have. Rest in peace.
