Jean, and Family,
We’re so sorry for your loss. I can still remember you and Jerry playing cards with my parents when I was just a little boy. I also remember working with my father at the farm when I was like 10 years old. Jerry was always a nice man to me! I’m so sorry that he is no longer with us.
Give us a call sometime, it would be nice to talk with you.

Jerry loved to talk about the farm and asked how my dad was doing on his farm. Will remember our Friday night meals in Hugo with our friends. Thinking of you Jean.
Jenanie and Steve Our family are sorry of your lost. I know that I and Rich enjoyed our time with him. Love the shaw family
Gonna miss our “farm” talks. We could talk cows prices, weather, crops & if we were gonna have a good hay crop this season anywhere. Always a farmer. RIP in the ultimate farm in the sky
I looked forward to seeing his smile and hearing his kind words. I always gave him a kiss on the cheek every time I saw him and it made my day. I will also never foget the dances we shared at the Legion. I know you’ll really be dancing in heaven now, no more bum leg!
Many times I just sat and smiled as I watched Farmer Jerry (as we called him) His figure feeding the cattle and taking care of his farm made my heart feel warm. I will always think of you Jerry as I sit on the deck at the Suoja house. God bless you in heaven.
Just when you meet the interesting people in life they sometimes slip away making us realize their greater worth.
My condolences to the family and friends of Jerome, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need.
My heart is heavy knowing I will never see or talk to you again. Jerry was one of a kind, every time he walked into the legion, he always had something new and positive to say. He was the type of guy that you always wished you had to come home to 🙂 Hard to believe he’s not here anymore. Thanks for the memories, you will always cherished always, a true gem.
It’s is with great sadness we lost a dear friend and a daily smile, a warm hello and a truly great man! He will be missed, with a dance in his step, a warm hug, and song in his heart! Thank you for your service, but mostly thank you for visiting daily for coffee and snickers! You will truly be missed!
Jerry was pretty much the nicest person I ever met in Hugo. He always had a smile on his face, and was happy to share stories with me about life, love and success. He will be greatly missed!
Love you jerry! I’m going to miss you my friend! RIP
