Gerald Mantta Obituary
Memories and Condolences
for Gerald Mantta
April 22, 2017
Sending my condolences to the family of my cousin Jerry. He was truly a man of outstanding character and I so enjoyed our visits with him when we could find him home when we made our trips to the U.P. I always felt a special kinship with him...he reminded me so much of my dad, Axel Peterson....in fact, I think they looked similar in facial features....I guess it was the smile. My parents, Axel and Mae, named me after his mom Adele, who I never met (born too late). So, to the family, just know that he was a favorite cousin of mine, and the memories of him are spread far and wide by those who will surely miss him. Judith ADELE Hunter

My Dear Uncle Jerry,
I miss you so much. I always said that when you look up the words "unconditional love" in the dictionary, your picture should be there. You loved my father thru his many ups and downs. You were always there for me when I needed you. I have such wonderful memories of all of us at the farm when I was just a little girl-with Grandpa Mantta there as well. My mom always says you are just like Grandpa Mantta-very loving and gentle, and always looking out for your family. I also loved coming down to see you and spending time with you in Lake Station when I was growing up. There were a lot of happy times. And then I was thankful to have you in the car to ride along with me to visit my dad at the nursing home. I loved your stories of being on the Ore Boats, the news of Tapiola, and how we stopped along the way to look at equipment for sale. You were truly an inspiration to me. I love you.

We are so sad to hear of Jerry's passing. What a Wonderful Cousin he was!! We so enjoyed visiting with him last August before we left the CC for Florida! Each time I saw Jerry, his smile, his looks, his unconditional positive regard, his patience, his mannerisms, always replicated my Dad Axel, Jerry's uncle. Rest In Peace, Jerry. We will miss you.

It is with tremendous respect and pride in my dear brother-in-law that I send sympathy to his family. Everyone who met Jerry knew of his unassuming inquisitive nature, kind spirit, enthusiasm, love of the land and devotion to family. We were truly Blessed. GODSPEED
