Gary and family - so very sorry for your loss. I remember meeting Jerry many years ago at the Inverness Club during the golf tournament. Our corporate tents were close and he was an absolute hoot. Keep all the memories close and God Bless.

So sorry to hear of the passing of my former boss at O-I in the 1970s. Jerry was one of the hardest working men I ever met, but there was always time for laughter when he told his corny jokes! I also still use the kielbasa recipe he told me was the right way to cook it! He was a wonderful family man. Rest in eternal peace, Jerry.

RIP Jerry. I met you a couple of months ago at the Hollywood Casino. I had on my OSU sweatshirt. You stopped me and proudly showed me your 1950 Rose bowl ring. Told me you caught the winning pass to win the game. It was a pleasure meeting you. Go Bucks!!!

I remember seeing Jerry Krall play football against Waite HS in the forties. Libbey was behind 14-7 at the end of the half, but Jerry scored four times in the second half, and Libbey won 35-14.

My dad, Ray Mengel, took me to the game. Ray was a star football player for Libbey in the 1920"s, so we followed Libbey football every year.

My dad also worked for Owens-Illinois Glass Co. He died in 1969 after forty years with the company.

Dear Aunt Helen, cousins, Aunt Bea, Aunt Pat, and Aunt Shirley,

I was so sad to hear about Uncle Jerry's death. I am glad he got to see his siblings and many family members at Aunt Bea's 90th birthday party. I only wish I could have seen him one last time before he died. He was one of the funniest people I have ever personally known and man, did he love those Buckeyes! I will always remember the many Christmas Eves we spent at your house when I was younger. He will be sorely missed!
