My heart is breaking for you Lorraine. I am so very sorry. Jerry was such a wonderful man! My condolences to you and your family.
Our thoughts are with you and boys. Lil and Dick
I don’t know if you remember me Lorraine, but I am a close friend of your sister Kathy. I just wanted to send my condolences to you and your family.
I was unbelievably sorry to hear that Jerry had passed. We were your neighbors for a long time and Jerry was always so nice and helpful. He was always willing to chat when we caught each other outside. The neighbors on that street are some that I will never forget and I will definitely never forget Jerry. Our condolences go out to Lorraine and the rest of the family.
Lorraine and family. We would like to express our sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. Janet, Jack, John and Scott.
What a shock! My thoughts and prayers are with you Lorraine. God bless and may he be with you and family.
I have many fond memories of Jerry from the 30 years since meeting him. From one of my first deer hunts in Sparta (Jerry shot both deer I missed), camping on Goose Island, trolling for walleye on the Mississippi, bluegill fishing, visits to the cabin and countless laughs I was lucky enough to have shared with him. Our condolences to Lorraine, Dave and Jeff.
Lorraine! Our sincere sympathy! God blessings to you and your family!
I am saddened by this news. Jerry was so very nice and you both always opened your home to the kids when they were little. My condolences

Lorraine and Family. I was saddened to hear the news of Jerry’s death. My prayer’s are with you and your family.
I just heard I’d the passing of Jerry, sorry for your loss. I drove by many times looking at my parents old house and I would look to see if Jerry was outside. It was last summer I drive and stopped and sat in his garage with him and had a beer. Another good man gone. R.I.P. Dave, Jeff, Loraine so sorry god bless
