We had the privilege of meeting Jerry at Lifetime Fitness Center in Coon Rapids. We were beginning to learn to play Pickleball together. We met many others that all grew to love this crazy sport! We could always depend on Jerry to keep up laughing at ourselves while trying our best to make improvements in our game. We also realized what a small world it was when we met Jerry and Barb at Eaglebrook Church in Anoka! We know that Jerry is now resting peacefully in God’s care playing perfect Pickleball with no pain or limitations that he faced here on Earth!  Al and Linda Ostlund 

Great memories of our families together on the 4th of July and the many fishing trips together. I'm going to miss you my friend.

Take this opportunity to look around at those still with us, because none of us knows when the Lord will call us home. My prayers are with you and my heartfelt sympathy to all of you in your time of great loss.
Respectfully,
Lani Blake Thorne

 We have amazing, awesome memories of yearly 4th of July celebrations that will keep his spirit alive in our hearts.  I imagine Jerry’s spirit will show up at the Lakehouse for many years to come.  We are so sorry and share your sadness.

Jerry was a pickleball player in our group at Life Time Fitness...He loved playing and we loved playing with him. We will miss him and think of him often. Hope they have a lot of paddles up there Jerry.
