Jerry and I met at the U of Minn. in the Biostatistics program in 1973. He was very considerate. He trained me on his position in Medtronic Corp. Statistical Resources in 1980, when he changed positions in Medtonic. I will miss Jerry and his smile.

My sympathy goes out to the family. I worked with Jerry at Medtronic. He told some wonderful stories about his family and the farm. God bless your family.

I haven't seen Jerry since our school days when he was in the class ahead of me, and his sister Cindy in mine, but I remember his fun loving, but kind demeanor. He wasn't above mischief, but it was never mean spirited. He was the kind of guy you would always want as a friend. Wally and Marge raised a wonderful son. Our heart felt sympathy goes to Rachel,and Eric Eklund, and their entire extended family.

Dear Rachel and Family,
We will miss Jerry at Medtronic. He always had a smile and was wonderful to work with. May God bless all of you.

I met Jerry in 1981 at Medtronic.
In the late 80's we reported to the same manager. Many a night we stayed past five o'clock just talking about life and what made us tick.
I still smile when I recall the hilarious stories Jerry told about things that happened up on the farm. Many of these stories involved his Dad and his Uncle. You could tell how much he cared for both of them by the gentle way he related their foibles and misfortunes.
Jerry's good humor and quiet genius will be sorely missed.

Even though I haven't seen Jerry for many years, I grew up with the Eklund family as our neighbor. We all had such a great time as children, growing up in a small Minnesota town. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time of sorrow.

I worked with Jerry at Medtronic also - very nice guy, so friendly, treated us all as 'equals'...always made others feel important/worthwhile, etc. I liked him a lot and I am sure he will be dearly missed - prayers for peace for his family/friends.
