Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ouper family at the loss of "Mr.O". We always remember his devotion to Scouting, Troop 32 and his love of hiking. That devotion touched the lives of so many young men. With our oldest grandson just starting his scouting journey, questions about our involvement have involved stories that have included Jerry. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Jerry for many years at EMD. What I remember most is how open he was for questions and always willing to explain things. I'm still working at EMD and every year many of us think of him as we hang the "Christmas Cards from around the World" that he made. I believe some of them are over 30 years old. It's a joy to see "new" people stop by and try to find the card that represents their heritage. We always tell them about Jerry making and adding more cards throughout his career and leaving them behind for all of us to enjoy and cherish.

We had a coffee center at work that Jerry would shop for. Here was a man that didn't drive and would cut coupons and do the shopping for the rest of us. The amazing thing is he didn't drink coffee. Just another story of Jerry's kindness.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
