I grew up next door to Jerry. Alot of you did'nt know Jerry served a short stint as a volenteer fire man. When I was seven I started a mattress on fire. My sister Sue ran next door. Jerry came and got the burning mattress out of the second floor.If it was not for him our house could of burned down. So I was thankful he came and also I did not get a spanking. Because neighbors were all family. When mom and dad were gone they looked after us. That was one memorie I have of Jerry. My sympathy to the family.

Sandy & Family~

Well, I guess he wanted to be with your Mom on his birthday. I thought for sure he was going to hold on until he was 100 years old in a few weeks.

I can still see him "ripping in" at work to come see you. Once I told you to check your car door cause I thought for sure he put a ding in it. He surely was something else.

You were a great daughter to him and I loved hearing stories of you taking him out to eat...he never had a problem of saying things just the way they were even to the point of embarrassing you....still makes me laugh how he couldn't see the menu and stood up and went over by the buffet table where the lights were brighter...and when he "complimented" a waitress by telling her that her hair looked like she stuck her finger in a light socket....

You have a lot of memories to comfort you and know that I will always be around if you need me.

I'll miss Mr. "Muskego"..

Love to you all,
Vickie
"Big Bend" as he used to call me

To me he was my Great Uncle. I enjoyed time with him and my Aunt Goldie. He always made us feel welcome.And I loved going and seeing his Garden he sure had a green thumb. And when you think of the brewers no better fan alive then my Uncle Jerry. A Man that was so proud of his family. And the love his Kid's & Grand-kids showed him was proof of being a great Dad and Grand-pa. And a man of Faith he knew when he left here where he was going. May you rest in peace My Dear Uncle Jerry!! Love Koo=KOO

Jerry was our neighbor during all my growing up years. I always will remember him working in his yard and garden. His yard always looked so nice. Condolences to his family.
