Jerry will be forever in my heart as a true blue friend.
We made some of really good memories traveling to see the Hawkeyes in the fall and UNO basketball in the winter.
He added joy and depth to life.
Thank you Jerry

My former neighbor when we lived across the street. Jerry and Sylvia were great neighbors. Then we would occasionally run into him at Husker football. Looking thru old photo albums tonight and found a picture of Sylvia which spurred me to google. Good memories of solid people. We remember them fondly...Michelle Manning and Michael (who is now 40)

Hard worker, honest, intelligent and was an example of how all people should behave. I was raised in Glenwood Iowa and when someone said did I know Kaiman family were Jewish? I said no but if that if I can be like Kaiman I went to be Jewish also!

As a salesman in the 80´s I called on Jerry at the store in Glenwood. He was a great man who loved his family, faith and people. It was a pleasure to know him as a person and as a business man.
He was one of a kind and I truly respected him.

I worked for Jerry and Harold in high school. I have many fond memories of early morning truck deliveries while Jerry gave ad hoc play by play over the PA! Prayers for a safe homegoing and comfort for the family.

Some of my best memories about growing up in Glenwood, Iowa came from the time I was in high school and worked for Jerry and Harold at their grocery store. One thing I learned from Jerry was that you could work hard and still have a lot of fun. Jerry was my friend and the world will be a poorer place in his absence.

My sympathy to you both and all of the Kaiman family.
I really enjoyed my long friendship with Jerry in the grocery industry and enjoying Iowa football games with him in Iowa City. He was a wonderfull friend and will be greatly missed.

Beth, Sherry, Harold and all Jerry´s loved ones, I was shocked and saddened to read of Jerry´s passing. I was just thinking of him (as I often did) a couple days ago. I have missed him so much since my husband Thom Corritore died. I tried to reach him but was never able to.
I miss our McDonald´s breakfasts, our great phone conversations about the KC Royals, the Chiefs, Glenwood, and politics and religion! I am out of town on vacation so I had to miss the service. I´m so sorry about that. Beth, I hope to talk to you one day soon.
Please accept my condolences for your heartbreaking loss. Jerry was an exceptional man who brought joy to us every time we saw him. Thom adored him. I am so thankful I got to know and love him. God bless you all.

Sherry and Beth,
Your father was a caring thoughtful person. My father enjoyed talking to him on the phone.
I know you have wonderful memories of your father. I will always
remember when your parents visited here, and my parents showed the
Williamstown.
Joel, Eric, and I are thinking about you.

When I was growing up in Glenwood and on my occasional return visits there as an adult, I often met up with Jerry. Our conversations were always such a pleasure! He had a knack for engaging, interesting, and complimenting. I appreciated his political perspectives, his deep respect for learning and ideas, his warmth. Though I saw Jerry infrequently, I feel a void where he fits in my memory.
I hope memories of Jerry are a comfort to his family as they work through this difficult time.

Deepest sympathies,
Bruce Strom

Sherry, Beth, Harold, Barbara and all the Kaimans,
So sorry about the passing of Jerry.
I have lots of memories of him whenever my family would visit Glenwood, including that he was so handsome.
I think it was in 2004 when Richard and I visited Omaha and Glenwood. Jerry and Sylvia took us the Fisher's Farm where our grandparents and lots of other Kaimans are buried. I had never been there before then. We went on to Glenwood to visit Harold and Barbara, and got to visit the Kaiman store.
I send my love to all of you,
Carolyn Kaiman Rosenstein

Although I did not know Jerome, years ago I was friends with his brother Harold. We were in AZA together, and as Harold was a few years older than me, he got his drivers license before me. No one was more gracious with rides to various events and meetings than Harold. His kindness has never been forgotten; I am sure that Jerome was as equally kind and considerate. My condolences to the family.
