I'm saddened by the lose of your husband and father. I worked with Jerry many years ago at Sturgis Newport in Whitewater. I also lived in the upstairs apartment in front of your home in Whitewater. I remember him well as a co-worker and he was a great friend to Paul Meisner who was my long time boyfriend. My prayers are with you at this time. Sincerely,Lucy Doman
