Jerry was an great friend at SSP! His creative talents were amazing! I was blessed to have had art classes at SSP with him. I can still see him in Ms Anderson art class. We both ended up working at the same company in Bloomington, MN . We got to know each other and became good friends after school. Jerry had a wonderful wife (Karen) and a beautiful daughter. Sadly they lost their daughter in a terrible accident. I think of Jerry often! He was a talented artist with an awesome since of humor!

Jerry, I mostly remember you from our years at Central Elementary School. You were always the shortest guy in class (I was the tallest girl). In 4th or 5th grade I had a 'growth spurt', so you kept teasing me (about being taller than all the other kids in class); One day, after school, you picked the wrong day to tease me......... I beat the snot out of you !! After that, no more teasing, & we even became friends (through Mark Wenda). Hope you are at Peace now........RIP
