Please accept our deepest sympathy with the loss of Jerry. He made us all better people and Cedar Rapids a better place to live. His work at Jefferson filming, processing and delivering athletic films will always be appreciated and never forgotten. As always, thanks for your hard work!

Our deepest sympathy to Jeanne and her family. We have such fond memories of good times together. We enjoyed eating homemade pizza, going to the boat house, scuba diving, sharing photography skills, Florida visits and more. Jerry is remembered as a fine person and a wonderful friend.

I want to join in the celebration of Jerry's life. He did so much for Jefferson in so many ways. As a brother Mason I also revere his memory. He lived his life following Masonic principles. We are all blessed because he was here.

Our deepest sympathies to our friends. Not everyone is blessed with a father who could walk into his shop and retrieve a radiator cap for a '58 Chevy - no matter how many layers deep it was buried. We're thinking you all.

The Saturday night "family" at Hope Lutheran misses Jerry's quick smile. We all appreciate the hard work, dedication and love that he and Jeanne and others put in for so many years to make Hope the warm, welcoming church home that it is.
