Jerome Louis "Jerry" Kaminski, age 82, of Bellevue, passed away peacefully at home, Saturday, October 18, 2025, with his wife at his side. He was born February 18, 1943 in Green Bay, son of the late Stanley and Ceil (Dudkiewicz) Kaminski and was a graduate of Green Bay East High School.
Jerry retired from Schrieber Foods after many decades of dedicated service. He married Suzan Notz, June 8, 1985 and they shared over 39 years of love and adventures.
Jerry had many passions and hobbies, most of them that he shared with Sue. Frequenting favored establishments was his favorite way to pass the time. He enjoyed shooting pool and darts, bowling, camping, playing cribbage and cruising around in his 2006 Pontiac Solstice. Jerry loved to spend time in and on the water. He was a certified scuba diver and loved boating on his pontoon. His scuba adventures included trips to Bonaire and the Cayman Islands. One of the excursions to the Caymans included a celebration of my honeymoon (he even brought along Sue!)
Jerry is survived by his wife, Sue; 2 children, Chad (Tanya) Kaminski and Christine Kaminski; 2 grandsons, Joshua (Brittany) and Harley (Jacqueline); 4 great-grandchildren: Joshua Jr, Logan, Alexis and Ava and a sister, Kathleen Kaminski. He is further survived by sisters-in-law: Lynnea Kaminski, Lin Notz, Michele Notz, brother in law, Thomas Notz and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews and a great-great niece.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Michael Kaminski, a grandson, Martin II, a brother-in-law, Gary Notz and his father and mother-in-law, Rajah and Louis Notz.
In accordance with Jerry's wishes, no services will be held.
