Gerald "Jerry" Spierings

As we say goodbye to Jerry, we come together as family and friends to celebrate the light and love he brought into our lives.

Sending my deepest condolences to Kathleen and the family. We enjoyed many a meal and laughs with Jerry and Kathleen over the years. Even though we hadn't seen him in a few years, he is easily remembered as a kind soul. Hugs and strength to the Spierings family and friends who were fortunate to know him.

Too many memories to mention, no words to describe our heartbreak

The love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Always Cathy Anglada and family

I remember Jerry from Ohio, he was a great guy, lots of fun! I´m so sorry for your loss Kathy, may he RIP

I remember Jerry from St Mary´s and he was always smiling. My cousin is still very good friends with his sister. Rest in peace Jerry.

Jerry was such a funny and caring classmate. He was so full of life. We had a small group that saw him last February, He was still the same from high school. He will be missed by everyone that knew him. We are so very sorry. RIP

Over the 60 years that we have been friends, there are so many great memories that were made. Jerry is one of the best friends we ever had. What a great time we all had rolling on the River in Tampa with friends. Priceless. Will never forget this great guy and the smile he always flashed!! Rest in Peace Jerry

So sorry to hear of Jerry´s passing. I was a classmate at Elyria Catholic in 1968 with him. My locker was near his and what a joker he was. Always full of spit and vinegar. He was so full of life, always happy and full of devilment. He had me laughing with his antics. Everyone he met was drawn to him. Great guy and he will be missed by all.

Jerry was a great friend during our high school years, but I lost touch until our 50th Class Reunion. He was the same great guy. Sad to lose him, my condolences to his family.

The Big Jerry with a big super heart.. everywhere you go you bring that light with you.. thinking of you bring me a smile in my face. Thanks for been a partner in this trip and part of my family... big super hug buddy..

My Grandfather was a Great man, beyond excellent, very strong minded I personally viewed him as a natural leader, he´ll forever be missed words can´t describe the feeling of lost but we won a life with him and I´ll forever be grateful for that; I am wishing you well wherever you are, We love you Grampa.

Like my brother, Rich, I came to know Jerry while working at his family's greenhouse during the 60's. My oldest brother, Len, was a lifelong friend with Jerry's brother, John, and our families became very good friends. Jerry was a hard worker but also had that mischievous side about him. He loved to pull a good prank on someone and he loved his sports cars. So sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in God's Peace.

So hard to say goodbye to my youngest brother. So many memories. My mother let his hair grow passed his shoulders because it was curly and blond. The only one with blond hair. Applesauce had to be at every meal. We always thought he was rhe favorite but he was loved by so many people. The things we did growing up in Avon probably should be not shared. It was a wonderful town to grow up in. Jerry will be missed by everyone he knew and also everyone him and Kathe knew in Florida.

Jerry and I were friends in our youth. My brother Joe and I worked side by side with Jerry in the Spierings Greenhouse in Sheffield, Ohio. We worked hard and had so much fun. Jerry always had a great attitude about life. He kept us laughing; I can't remember him being down or angry. We lost track of each other over the years, but I'll remember him always.
