Hi Dad, Its been 20 days since you've been gone and I still can't believe it. More than once I have picked up the phone to call and ask you a question and then I snap back to reality. Its weird being at the house, and your not posted on the couch watching tv, or yelling "Who is it?" when I walk through the door, and standing at the entry way of the kitchen/living room. I still can't believe it but I know that you are in good hands, and good company in Heaven. I'm trying really hard to "keep the faith", like you always did. I miss you more than you can imagine.
Love
Steph

yo Dad! I went to the cemetery today to see you, sorry I didn't stay long but as you, of all people, know best.. I don't wear winter coats. You were ALWAYS telling me "put a d_mn coat on! .. Your going to be sorry!" and your right EVERY time. I always end up getting sick! I got my lip pierced with a little stud. I already know your reaction: shaking your head saying "God made you beautiful, I don't know why the hell you put those holes in your face!" And I took my eyebrow one out so its not like rings attacking my face. But I think there was something wrong with that anyway. I really wanna get a tattoo SO bad, but I know how you feel about them. But I really want one. =] nothing much else is new.. Just waiting for it to get HOT out so we can put flowers out by your grave. I'm going to get going tho for tonight, I have a bad bad headache, & I wish you were here to squeeze my head like you always would for all of us! I love you so much, and miss you more than ever! bye xoxoxoxox

Jeomy and Family,

I am sorry to hear about the loss of a great man. Time and again I would listen to my mother (Suzy Schafer) tell the stories of their youth. It is amazing how many lives he was able to touch.

We all love Jeomy very much and that love has grown across your entire family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Kris, and your family. Family is the foundation to happiness and when we lose a pillar, we must rely on the strength of those remaining to hold us up.

Jerry
AS you know I have known you 22 years and even though it was a rocky start, guess i was a little hard to understand sometimes, that all went away and you became a mentor to me also. After I got out of the hospital and I hadn't seen you for awhile, you had changed physically from being sick but mentally you were still the strong man that I always knew. We had some talks and I watched you when you came into the building. Talk about a fighter... You were da man !!!! I will miss you greatly !!! It's ok I won't see you for awhile but when I do my knowledge of the Utilitity will have to be better than it used to be !!! Keep the angels laughing !!

Miss you

To Jerome's family: I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I worked with Jerry for 27 years, attended many meetings with him, and looked to him for advice or to draw on his great experience with the Utility. He was always very professional and available to help resolve problems. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.

Cort,Krys and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Jerry. I just lost my mom 2 months ago, and it is hard to let them go.

Jerry was such an onery guy. I remember he always had a smile and a twinkle in his. I remember sitting at the games with him went Cort was playing in junior high. He was always so quiet and reserved.

Cort, I have watched you grow up into a beautiful young lady. And I am so glad that you and Jordan are still close. We are here if you need something.

Krys, you and Jerry did a wonderful job raising such gracious wonderful young women. Please know that God has Jerry in the palm of his hand and his suffering is no more.

My family is praying for all of you.
Please read Matthew 11:28-30.
God will be there for you to lean on, as well as all your family and friends.

God Bless,
Bethany Dick aka "Mrs Farva"

Dear Stephie & Family,
First and foremost I am sincerely apologetic for the loss of your "rock".
Mrs. Schoenle, words can simply NOT express my sympathy to you. What great role models you and your husband are to your daughters. Steph speaks highly of you often and your strong morals and beliefs have been passed to her, as she "shines" to her friends. Please find comfort in God, and in knowing your husband is no longer in pain. I know if he could have chosen his life, it would have included many more years with you, but as God's plan has proved, he will be with you always in Spirit.
Stephanie; my heart truly goes out to you. I wish there were something I can do to ease your pain. I'm here for you ANYTIME. You've been the best of friend to me for many years now. I know your dad was proud of you, as a strong, single, independent woman in the year 2008/2009. There are not many people as caring as you. Never doubt your strength, because you have already endured more than most people our age, and handled it only with the utmost grace. What a beautiful heart you have! You are SO loved! If you need to get your mind off of things, you can always call me for a little "Lean Back" action! I love you!
Britt & Cort: You had a simply amazing father, please continue to remember the good times. You are stronger than you realize to be able to go through all of this. And I do believe little Zach was the best therapy over past year and some months.

And to the remainder of the Schoenle & Moring families, I am sorry for your loss, continue to find strength through your faith, as I'm sure thats what Jerry would have wanted.

May God be with you all.
Sincerely,
Emily Witte & Family

Fortunately for Gerry, he did not have to see me too much at work - avoiding the law department is usually a good thing. However, when our paths did cross, I knew I could count on him. His knowledge, integity and his passion were great qualities that made our work easier. I am grateful to have known him and sorry to learn of his passing.

Dear Linda, Ron and Bruce (Cousin's)

My heart goes out to you and all the entire family and friends of Jeomy. I will keep you in my prayers and I hope your sorrow will pass.

The Danehy's will never forget watching Jeomy and my brothers pushing, running and spinning the cart out of control in grandpa Wyss's basement. We have fond memories of those wonderful family get togethers.

Take gratitude in knowing that Jeomy is now with your wonderful Father and Mother.

Mr.Schoenle. First i would like to say it was a pleasure to have ment you, I remember clearly your sense of humor the night when i took cort to our winter formal. I remember reminding myself to give a firm handshake when i ment you, i was eager to make a good impression. Cort is my best friend and a compassionate loving one at that. You have a wonderfull family, and its easy to see how so, because they had a great father/husband behind them.The night of formal you told me to take care and to watch over your daughter,I nevr stoped and never will

Ron Schoenle

January 6, 2009

Dear Krys, Stephanie, Brittney & David, and Cortney,

We are so sorry that we all lost Jerome at such a young age. He fought a long, hard, brave battle. He was a good husband, father, brother, and grandpa. We all knew of his love for little Zach, and other little children. God and his church were very important to him. He had a fun sense of humor, and made us laugh, and was always willing to lend a hand. We enjoyed getting to know the Moring family through your Thanksgiving meals and get-togethers. Krys- you have a wonderful family-we will always remember your parents, also, and we won't forget the “Jerry Burgers.”

Jerome, Jerry, or Jomey- no matter which name we called him by, he will hold a special place in our hearts always. Our wish for him is that he is now in peace and that he is happy with Mom and Dad. We are sure he is looking down on his family with love and pride. Remember we are all family and we love you all, and we are always here for you.

We are very thankful for all that you have done for Jerome during his hard times, especially this last month. We knew that he was always in good hands with you. We saw how your love and care helped him get through the last month, and we appreciate all that you did for him.

Bruce- A special thanks to you for helping Krys and the girls and for being there for Jerome in the last weeks. You helped take care of Jerome as well as being there for the family, and we really appreciate it.

Love,

Ron, Mary, Jenny, and Jody

Jerry,

WMS will miss you, the swagger, the smirk, the attitude, the twinkle in your eyes when you told a story or a joke, the way you could lose something even when it was right under your nose. The pride in your voice when talking about your beautiful girls or your wonderful grandson. You left us with plenty of 'Jerry' stories to remember you by and we will remember.

To the family of Jerry Schoenle,
Jerry was a great guy, one memory I have is from over 30 years ago when we played in a softball tounament together at the Turners, we got beat bad but had a good time. A more recent memory is from this past Septmeber when Jerry attended a golf outing for me even though he was feeling pretty bad. It goes to show what a caring person he was.

To Jerry And The Schoenle's
I worked for Jerry a long time and he was always there for me when I had any questions about the large meters or anything else he was GREAT!!! I remember when Jerry ask me to compete in the meter maddnes contest for The AWWA 10 years ago but most of all I'll always remember the smile he had when I won at the state level! Jerry I will continue competing and this year I will win at the state just for you!!! We all will miss you very much.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Margaret Ferguson

To Krys and the girls:

I have known Jerry for a long time now. He has been my boss for the last 17 years here at Water Maintenance and I knew him when I worked for Customer Service. Jerry will truely be missed by me---he was my favorite boss and a great guy. We used to swap family stories all the time--though, I think he could never top mine--he problably liked it like that. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

John Ceperich

I just read about this in Indiana Section AWWA and would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Jerry's family and friends. I was the plant manager for nearby Ligonier, IN and heard nothing but good things about our sister facility.

Kevin Holle (Fort Wayne City GIS Dept)

January 5, 2009

To the Schoenle's,
I worked with your dad here at City Utilities for many years. This is one of my fondest memories of him and I treasure it: he would call me almost every other month with a question on how to do something on his computer, like pulling up a map or information about the Water Utility, and he would apologize over and over that he knew he asked the same question every time "but I just keep forgetting", and he said he appreciated it because it was easier to just pick up the phone and ask. I loved helping him with it because it gave us the chance to chat a little about both work and home. Enjoy the memories.

Maggie Fiedler Customer Relations Manager

January 5, 2009

To the Family of Jerry,
Words can not express the sadness I feel for you. Jerry was a strong man that set an example for everyone to follow. I work for City Utilities Customer Relations and share a passion for helping people with Jerry. No matter what we suggested he would tell me that the customer always comes first. I know that these last few weeks Jerry was in pain. God took him after he accomplished everything he was sent here to do. I understand the girls wondering if there really is a God given the suffering Jerry endured. Each of us was to learn something from Jerry and until we did he could not leave. Please know that angels will walk beside you during this time of grief and may you find comfort knowing that you were a special part of a well-lived life.

Tricia Jones

January 5, 2009

Steph,
I'm so sorry. You and your family are in my heart and prayers. If you need anything or just to talk I'm Here. Jerry was very strong to fight for this long. Remember he is very proud of you. Hang in there. Love ya

You will be deeply missed by everyone. You were always there for me when i needed you, as you were for everyone else. The world will not be the same without you not in it. I am glad that i got to know you and your family. I miss you. Rest in Peace Jerry. Love Sarah Marktion

I am so sorry for your loss. Having lost my Dad a year ago I know the pain and heartache of losing a loved one. Jerome will certainly be surrounded by ALLOT of Schoenle relatives. I hope your sadness will soon be replaced by the many wonderful memories you must have.
Jerome will be remembered in my prayers.

Jerry,
Had I known that day in October when you said, "Have a nice weekend, see you on Tuesday," would have been our last conversation, I would have said more than "Yep, see ya later." The office will never be the same.
I want to offer my most heartfelt condolences to the Schoenle family. Jerry was always so very proud of his girls.
He will be greatly missed.

HI "NigeL" (dad)
...okay, I wrote you earlier..& it didn't show up so I don't know what I did, but whatever. As everyone has said, I still can't believe your gone... it really does feel like a dream..or like your just in Indy.. or the hospital and your gonna be coming home any day now...but thats not going to happen & it sucks. You are the strongest person I know dad, physically and mentally...after you did your interferon, it changed you physically 100% and you couldn't do over half the things you used to be able to... but you tried your hardest & thats what matters. You had answers to every question, advice and words of wisdom for every problem we had... and you knew how to fix EVERYTHING! whether it were our cars, something around the house, or ANYTHING! You were, and truley are amazing. You fought so hard the past however many years.. and especially this past couple weeks, it was sooo hard for you but you did awesomE!! we are so proud of you & we all loved taking care of you and wouldnt want anyone else taking care of you, because we know you would take care of us, as you always did. I was just sitting on the couch looking out the window at the backyard imaging you out there mowing in the summer.. trying to move the trampoline and getting alll mad at it because you say no one uses it, and mom would always say "yeah we do, me and the girls lay out on it" haha...and I was thinking about every summer going to the pool how everyone was so amazing at you when you would dive off the high dive and you were in the cannon ball contest at Glenaqua. And I was telling Britt & David how when I would take swim lessons there when I was little, I would never get in the pool, so you had to leave work & come get in the pool with me, and thats the only way I would get in the water! I miss you so much dad its unREAL! Watching you suffer, and be in so much pain these last couple years, months and weeks makes me wonder if there really is a God? Why would he make someone suffer soo badly??? And I know if you heard me say that you would not be happy! But thats how I feel cause its messed up and unfair. I will write more later, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD AND I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. I miss you, Love you.

Hi Dad, I still can't believe that you are gone. It feels like a dream and I keep thinking that we are going to wake up. We all miss you so much and its only been 2 days. You were so so strong the past couple of weeks, YOU ARE MY HERO. I don't know what I'll do without you.
I love you and miss you so much.

January 4, 2009

Hi Dad,
I miss you so much and so does everyone else. Zach keeps asking about you...I will never let him forget you, and how much you loved him. He loved you so much, too. This doesnt even seem real. I know your still here in spirit though looking down on us watching out for us. Remember I got married the day before your birthday and now your funeral is on mine...funny how things work out. Anyways, I love you so so much and cant imagine my life without you. I know you are in a better place and God is taking good care of you in Heaven. I cant wait to see you again someday! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN DESCRIBE. Its going to be so weird without you here with us. I'll be seeing you though again sometime, I love you and no one will ever forget you. You would be so proud of your picture in the paper we picked out and what we wrote about you. Your a fighter and you are my hero and always will be!! Rest in peace, Dad.
Love You Always,
Brittney

Jerome,

From the youngest Wyss cousin to the most Senior... I'm sorry I didn't get into mischief with you growing up as my Danehy brothers probably did. I won't forget the last time we spoke at length. I believe it was at Angie's wedding. We sat at a table with Krys and talked for quite a while. I remember thinking of how much you reminded me of your Dad. Hopefully, you and your Dad are together now and looking out for the rest of us!

I'd like all of the Schoenle family to know that I am thinking of you. As days pass I hope the tears in your heart are replaced by happy memories.

Jerry.. a.k.a. Hood!
I will never forget all of the times you told me and cortney to be good and to be careful while we walked out the door when you would be sitting on the couch, because noone seems to trust us together! But now looking at it it was because you cared so much! Also thank you for always driving us around town to dwenger games, the mall, movies, and anywhere else we went!..and always making me laugh when i would be at your house! You accomplished so much in your life and you are the biggest inspiration to all the rest of us still living. you raised the most beautiful, strongest, nicest, loving and giving family there is, it cannot get any much better to of had your family in my life growing up! Noone will ever forget your fight, and how strong you were. I know its going to be really hard for all of your loved ones but thank the lord you raised them the way you did and they are some of the strongest people i know! it has been a blessing knowing you, and being your daughters best friend my whole life! i love you! and you will never be forgotten! - Loreal!

hi "nigel". its sunday morning and i'm just sitting here watching tv thinking about you. noone really goes in the family room since that was considered "dads" room and it just feels too weird w/out you in there on the couch/bed. We all miss you soo much, and mom really misses you =[ but its selfish of us to want you to stay around when you were suffering soo bad...it was your time to go and I respect that. you were too sick for too long and you fought as much as you could. Were all SO proud of you, you are our HERO! I would never ask for a different dad because you were perfect. You had an answer to every question, you had advice to every problem, you knew how to fix anything and everything whether it was our cars or in the house or anything. You were are truley are amazing. I love you so much Dad and I dont know how were gonna do it without you... I miss you so much. I'll write more later.. love you so much
Love, Cort

Hey Jerome,
It has only been a day and a half and we miss you terribley. I know that you were self conscious about the way you looked since you have been sick but I think that you would be happy with the picture that we chose. The girls did a great job with writing the obituary and you would so proud of them!! As I sit and write this it I have tears running down my face. I feel like this is a dream and we will wake soon. You did so well these last few weeks we were so proud of you. I will always remember when you said to me you will be sorry when I am gone and I am!!!!
Rest in peace
I love you and miss
