Jerry was preceded in passing by his father, Wilfred (Bill); mother, Stella; brother, Dick; wife, Patti; and son, Mike.
Jerry was a hard-working man who could fix almost anything. He lived much of his life in Minneapolis before moving to Anoka about 30 years ago. Jerry has two brothers, Dick and John, and loved to be part of family gatherings. In summers he spent much of his free time at the cabin in Siren. He spent time fishing, fixing things, and some time napping. He attended church most Sundays watching a mass on television. Jerry loved to tell stories that would usually end in a big hearty laugh. He will be missed dearly.
Jerry is survived by his brother, John. His children: Kathy, Theresa, and Ken. His grandchildren: Angie, Molly, Jack, Amber, Allison, and Andrew.
