My sympathy goes out to Jerry's family. I went to school with him all the way from St. Paul through Grafton High. We played basketball, softball, and even one year of football together. He was one of the nicest people I have known, and he will be missed by everyone that knew him.

so very sorry for your loss. I went to to school with Jerry from Kindergaten thru High School graduation. I would like to think we were close fiends. I have stayed over at his house many times when we were very young. Watching scary movies and eating cheese balls. He knows what I mean.I have worked with him at United Foundry when we were still in high school.he and I went for the first time together to our first strip joint. We laughed and had so much fun. Although, I have not seen or spoken to him in so long, I will sure'll miss him.
