Jerry Klicka Obituary
Brookfield - Dr. Jerry E. Klicka, age 93, passed peacefully into eternal life on February 6, 2020.
He was born on September 2, 1926 in Milwaukee to Jerry and Martha Klicka. He attended Washington High School before enlisting in the Army during WII. After returning home, Jerry met the love of his life, Joan Werner and were married for 56 years, until her passing in 2009. Jerry graduated from Marquette Dental School in 1953. During his 50+ years of practice, Jerry was involved with many dental associations, including the Dental Forum, the American Dental Association, and Psi Omega Dental Fraternity. He also received several accolades, including Psi Omega's Alumnus of the Year in 1986, and Life Member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Dental Society in 2011. He was a member of and served on the board at Bluemound Country Club and enjoyed membership at North Hills Country Club. Jerry also was a member of the American Legion.
Jerry stayed active through his love of golf, fishing, and curling. He appreciated the fine arts. He was a lover of music and had a natural talent for oil painting. In 1948, Jerry and his classmates from dental school, along with some other friends, started a poker club which is still active to this day.

Jerry will be missed by all who knew him.
Our sympathy to his family.
We had great times with Jerry as fellow "Tinmen" and pistol shooter during non-golfing months. We spent many hours together at Blue Mound.
He loved to tell a joke and was great at doing it.
We sent a donation to the American Heart Association in his memory.
