Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Where Caring Is A Family Tradition
Jerry (Gerald) D. Brow
Age 68
On August 13, 2012, our spouse, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend entered into eternal life. Although deeply saddened, we take comfort knowing Jerry was taken from us as he was enjoying his life's passion--flying. When he wasn't working on his plane or taking flying lessons, Jerry was an avid outdoorsman as well as an old car enthusiast. His most prized possession was his candy apple red, fully restored, 57' Chevy convertible. Through all his various interests, he touched the life of every person he met with his infectious laugh, personable nature and kind, generous heart.
In addition to his sociable nature, Jerry was a successful businessman. For many years he owned and operated Central Temperature and Better Home Heating in Neenah, Wisconsin. After retirement he enjoyed life in Winneconne, Wisconsin and filled his leisure time with boating, hunting, fishing, attending EAA, and touring old car shows. In the winter he resided in Brooksville, Florida where he pursued vacations to Disney World with family, golfing, ocean fishing and shopping at various flea markets.
At his time of death, Jerry was taken by the hand and lead to his eternal home by his oldest daughter Pamela Brow-Anderson. In December, he would have celebrated 50 years of marriage with his high school sweetheart, Kay. He was very proud of his daughter, Paula Brow Kasuboski, and her spouse Shawn. He spoiled and adored his seven grandchildren, Joel and Kailin Anderson, Justin, Emily, and Olivia Eichhorst, and Krystal and Lexi Kasuboski. He is also survived by his sisters, Eileen Brow and JoAnne (Jerry) Piotrowski; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ray and Doris Van Buskirk; and many nieces and nephews.
Please join us in celebrating Jerry's life on Saturday, August 18, 2012, at St. Mary Catholic Church, 210 Pleasant Dr. Winneconne. Visitation will be from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Funeral Mass to follow.
In keeping with Jerry's generous nature, in lieu of flowers, the family requests that monetary memorials be donated in Jerry's name to Rawhide Boys Ranch in New London, Wisconsin.

We wanted to send our sympathy to the family of Jerry Brow. I had the privilege of working with Jerry @ Oil-Rite in Manitowoc. In fact my husband Jim and I were invited to the Brows for a wonderful card game. Jerry didn't know it but that night was a turning point in our lives. We enjoyed the card game and when we drove home that night with no alcohol in our system we decided that was how we wanted our evenings to always be. Jerry and Kay welcomed us and we will always be grateful. Our sincerest sympathy to you Kay and to your family, I know Jerry will be truly missed. He had such a great personality!

Dear Brow Family. We are so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He and Harvey worked together at M.E.W. They shared many humorous moments together. We especially want to say hi to Kay and wish her our deepest sympathy. There were many occasions where we enjoyed her company. Our most sincere condolences to the family.

Dear Paula as a fellow pilot I know the feelings your father felt as he was lifted up to see all the beauty below. Now he and Pamela will be lifted even higher on gods wings to see more than they ever could have imagined. Peace to you and all of your family

Kay and Paula, you are both in my thoughts and prayers. Jerry always had a smile on his face and made me feel very welcome when I came over to your house in Brillion. He truly was an inspiration to many people. Memories of love and friendship are treasures to carry with you always.
May hope find its way to your heart. Praying for you and your families,
