Jerry is preceded in death by his parents.  He is survived by his loving wife, Jean, son Dustin (Felicia), stepson Jorge (Lesley), his grand daughter Aria, his siblings, and many nieces and nephews.  Jerry had the most joyful personality and was loved by so many.

We have many fond memories of Jerry. They started at Johnson High School some 60 years ago.
Fast forward to the last 15 years when we retired and became closer friends.
We always enjoyed his backyard bonfires, New Year´s Eve dinners, Arizona vacations, Viking games at the Legion, North St Paul car shows, fishing trips, sharing excellent recipes and making hot peppers too.
He took great pride in his yard and the birds that came to visit his feeders. He had every tool to groom his yard to perfection.
We know what a great painter he was too!
The memories of his great friendship, sense of humor and generous spirit will always live in our hearts.
May he Rest In Peace.

Our thoughts are with Jean and the Stoerzinger family. We had the privilege of knowing Jerry through his brother John. We spent many Christmases together and even watched a few Vikings games at the Legion in NSP. He was a kind and thoughtful man that would do anything for others. He will be greatly missed by many, especially his loved ones. RIP Jerry...

I met Jerry, 40 some years ago at Medtronic. I can´t tell you how many laughs we had - too many to count! I spoke to him a few years ago. I was glad I could convey how thankful I was to call him friend. He´s undoubtedly rounding the bases in a new field! I´m sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences to the family.
Jerry was a high school classmate, in the past several years we spent Monday mornings for breakfast together with other classmates. He will be missed, he´s up there looking down smiling with no pain.
