Jerry Gervais, 66, passed away Sunday, May 29, 2011 at his home.

Jerry enjoyed riding motorcycles, watching the Cubs play and spending his spare time with his card buddies playing cribbage and pitch on Saturdays. Jerry (Frenchie) was a simple and ornery man and if he didn’t give you crap, he didn’t like you.
