I do not get the paper and just learned of Jerry's death. I saw him in Oct at the cabin. He was a good hard working man. My sympathy to the family.

To the Tesch Family:

I remember Jerry from the Northtown Diesel Shop. He was a good worker and always answered my many questions. I was amazed how he could cut and form 3" plate steel just as you and I would cut paper.

Thanks, Jerry, for the memories.

Dear "Jerry and Lois" family:
We were friends with your parents since high school. Jerry was in our wedding party. Jerry was my Prom date in 1944!
We have lost contact over the years, but will always hold both of them in our prayers, hearts, and memories.
Lynette and Don Kimble
