Family members come in all shapes and sizes. My cousin Jerry -- the last of that generation in the fabulous Gus Geerdts clan -- was truly special in so many ways. He was caring, kind, fair, generous,witty, and consistent in his warm -- often darned funny -- style. HIs fantastic storytelling skills...yes...related to duck hunts, walleye outings, and escapades of the "Fratney Street gang" ..will remain precious memories for all of us. That smile. His enthusiasm. Those twinkles in his eyes...the way he'd lean into you you, as if sharing a special secret. He'd always phone me when a member of my family passed away or was ill, sharing his own warm memories of that person. Jerry meant much to so many. Max and I feel a deep gratitude for his whole family and and their kindness, their fun personalities. Peace. Comfort to all... And thanks to those by his side during his recent journey.

Jerry was one of the kindest friendliest people I ever met in my life .some of my fondest memories are of sitting and talking and joking with him over a beer whether in a boat on lake winniconne or on barstool after the hunt . I am proud to say he was my friend.

When I was a young man, I was invited to "the shack" for a week of duck hunting. I didn't even have a shotgun to hunt with. Jerry let me borrow his 16 gauge (I'm sure the kids remember that gun) and so began a tradition of, oh 30 years of some of the best times of my life. There aren't enough words to describe what that meant to me, and I'm sure, all the other guys that were there. We are all forever grateful for the Geerdts' hospitality and generosity during those memorable times. Here's to Jerry!! Rest in peace, you've earned it.
