I first met Jerry in 1953 when both of us attended the UW- Racine. He and I worked together for four years at the A & P on Douglas Ave in Racine. After that he managed the Spur gas station. We then met again years later in Manitowoc where I met his children. We had great times together as young adults during the time when he met his wife Char. He was always a dedicated worker and father. My condolences to his children and grandchildren.
