I opened this link and cried at the beautiful photo of Uncle Abigail (I don't know why I called him that but I always did)- he looks the way I will always remember him. I'm so sad to be an ocean away and I wish I could've been there to say goodbye. Goodbye, Uncle Abigail - I love you. Our deepest condolences to the rest of the family.

The world has lost a great guy! He was always a pleasure to talk to. He had some great fishing stories that really kept my interest, since I'm a avid fisherwoman. He lived his life to the fullest and was very much in love with his wife Kay! He "adored" her and I'm sure he will be watching over her. I'm sorry for your loss Kay.##imported-begin##Audrie Raap##imported-end##
So sorry to hear about Jerry's death. When I think of him it brings back many memories of the 4 of us and the things we did together--especially the "surprise" cruise. He was a great guy. Diane##imported-begin##Diane Ketelhut##imported-end##

Our sincerest condolences to the family. I remember Uncle Jerry as a kind and generous person. What I remember most is his taking me to my first Notre Dame football game. While I don't remember who won or lost I do remember a long bus ride and having a memorable time at the game. He will be missed by all.##imported-begin##Roy Jacob##imported-end##
