Jerry's Oklahoma family would like to say what a wonderful and caring person he was. Not only was he fun to be around, he was also the go to person to fix anything. We loved him and will miss him greatly. Thanks "Wisconsin" family for sharing him with all of our "Oklahoma" family. Mike, Janna, and Jordan
