He often returned to his childhood stomping grounds of New Glarus and visited Switzerland several times. Jerry and Sue's love of nature took them to the "The Farm" in the quiet of Northwestern WI, where, for 40 years, they found great joy in all seasons. In retirement, he loved walking the woods and hills of their land and fishing with his grandkids in his ponds and creek. He also loved sending pics to his kids of the bear, wolves, deer, herons, and eagles, etc. that often visited. He loved watching his grandchildren's many activities. We thank our relatives and friends for their many thoughts and prayers. Jerry lived a full life with Sue by his side.

Jerry's Integrity, Faith, Grace, Wisdom, Patience, Sense of humor and laugh will be missed everyday by all who loved him. Dad, we love you and miss you dearly, until we meet again.
