Jerry was one of my best friends growing up and have always considered him family. I have so many great memories of us playing baseball together and our families camping and boating at the river. I´ll miss our talks on the phone and all the laughs we shared. I know he´s with my brother Frank & Mark Ulberg- sharing more laughs. Our hearts ache for Cynthia, Shaun, Kim, Jessica and his grandkids I love Jerry as a brother and I´ll always miss him.

I met Jerry when he was 18 we both worked for the Post Office. Little did I know several years later he would become my son-in-law. I have many memories as Jerry became like a son to me. I will miss him dearly.

I loved Jerry very much, and I always will. He had a good sense of humor and made me smile often. He was a decent man and a good brother in law.

Jerry it was fun and an honor to attend school with you. Thank you for unselfishly serving our country. So many high school classmates were glad to see you at the reunions.
