My condolences to the Flatebo family. Jerry always found time to stop and see my parents, Emma and Fran, whenever he was in the Sioux Falls area. They so enjoyed his visits! He was a big personality with an even bigger heart!

We will miss Papa so much! Just seeing him like things on Facebook reminded us that he was still there and cared about us! The world is a lesser place without him. We love you all and will keep you in our prayers!
