Jerome "Jerry" Schmeiser

SCHMEISER, Jerome R. February 13, 2022. Age 87. Beloved husband of Patricia and the late Joyce Bluml. Loving father of Shawn (Terri) Schmeiser, Cara (Michael) Brink, Mia (Alan) Miller, and step father of Brett Bielski. Dearest grandfather of Jeanette, Megan, Mathew, Shannon, Cody, Hunter, Heather and step grandfather of Violet, and Penelope. Cherished brother of Jack (the late Elaine), and David (Mary). Jerome was born in Iowa to his parents Martin and Winona. He grew up working his summers on his uncle's farm where he fell in love with John Deere tractors. He enjoyed them so much, he started his own collection of memorabilia and years later he bought a replica of the one he used when he was a teenager and restored it. He often traveled with his tractors to many different shows where he often won best in show. He graduated from Iowa State with his Landscape Architecture degree, and years later from Wayne State with his Master's degree in City Planning. He was Warren's City planner for many years until retiring and becoming a planning consultant with his partner Jack for many years where they overlooked Macomb, Richmond, and Ray Townships. Jerry always had a great interest in traveling, taking pictures of people, genealogy, woodworking, golf, baking breads and cookies, fishing as well as maintaining his vegetable garden.
