Thomas Jerome "Jerry" Whelan

I have just learned that Jerry passed in December after being sick for a long time. I first met Jerry when his children were very young. Jerry and Alma were such friendly, kind and hard working people who raised four bright and likable kids. I always felt they were all fortunate to have each other, and I hope good memories of their lives will be in their hearts always.

It was such a privilege to care for Jerry !! I loved his beautiful smile and sweet personality!! He will be missed

Condolences and prayers for the entire Whelan family. I liked Jerry from the moment I met him. His smile was infectious and Alma is his perfect match.

Jerry always had such a special twinkle in his eye when he smiled. I love remembering the sweet smiles he would exchange with Margaret during Sunday morning service.

I worked with Jerry at DuPont where we affectionately called him Dad. He was a fantastic mechanic and even better man. I felt honored to know him.

My wife, Bonnie and I send our condolences and prayers to his loved ones. I never worked with him but was around him at times. Jerry always had a smile and while talking he made you smile. He and Jim Crowder would always have a fun spat who ever had the most years at Dupont. Psalm 23.4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

We had a whole crew in Freon that called Jerry Dad. We were all younger and if we got out of line he didn't hesitate to tell us the straighten up. Lovell Emery and I stopped speaking to each other over something stupid and he took us aside and made us shake hands and start speaking again. We respected him so much that we had to listen.

I worked with Jerry at DuPont he always had a smile on his face and a good encouraging word. I know he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
