Uncle Gerald will be greatly missed and remembered always. My prayers are with all the family. He was a very special uncle. I will never forget when he insisted that the four-leaf clovers I found in East Otto weren’t really clovers!!! Such fun we used to have when he and Aunt Susie and the cousins would visit us on the farm and at the family reunions! Let’s all treasure the memories.
Sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing.
He was a special brother to me.
Love and prayers to the family
Bernice (Brol) Nolan
