Bonnie, Steve, Scott, Lisa, Todd, and families,
I am so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He will be missed by many. His grandchildren probably most of all. I know he loved being a Grandpa! I remember Jerry as a quiet, soft-spoken man who really made you feel as though he was interested in what you had to say. Even as a teenager and young adult he always made you feel you were important to him. It's probably what I'll remember most. I'll also treasure the times we spent together up north at Hay Lake, and the picnics exploring White Water state park. All of you take care and cherish the memories of a wonderful Husband, Dad, Uncle, Grandpa, and Friend.
Your Friends,
Gunnar and Jayne Kruger

So very sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Bonnie,
What a treasure Jerry was! I fondly remember his kindness and generosity when the kids were growing up. He treated our kids just like his own grandkids. I'm sharing my love and thoughts with you and the rest of your dear family.
Steve, so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I hope all of you memories are wonderful. God bless him.
Our deepest sympathy on your loss. You and your family are in our prayers.
