Sheboygan - Jerome "Jerry" David Spalinger (1933-2021). Jerry Spalinger, 87, of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on Monday June 21, 2021 at Rocky Knoll Health Care Center in Plymouth, Wisconsin.
Jerry was born to John and Christine Spalinger on August 31, 1933. He graduated from Sheboygan Central High School. After high school, Jerry served in the Army during the Korean War. After his military service, Jerry returned to Sheboygan and attended Lakeland College where he received a bachelor's degree of Science in Business Administration with a minor in economics. While in college, Jerry married Nancy Meissner and they had four children together.
Jerry was a life-long sports fan of Wisconsin sports teams: The Packers, Bucks, Badgers, Marquette, and the Brewers. Jerry played basketball for Lakeland College, and later in life, he played basketball in the "Old Timers" recreation league. In retirement, Jerry enjoyed playing a lot of golf. He was a man that loved telling jokes, carried a positive attitude, and was also a patient, kind, and understanding gentlemen as well as a wonderful Father. Jerry enjoyed a long retirement that afforded him the opportunity to travel and enjoy many winters in Florida.
