Oh how I already miss him, just knowing that he is no longer making people laugh or cooking his wonderful dishes. He showed me how to make homemade french onion soup and now it is a family tradition at my house during the holidays. I have so many memories of him and I am thankful he made such a difference in my life. He was always generous with his time with me. In college when I was homesick, I would go to Bismarck and "tour Europe" at his kitchen counter. Looking over maps, books, pictures, all while drinking Coke on ice and shelling peanuts. He made me feel special and always had time for me. I'm so glad I knew him. My four boys think of him as their Uncle Jerry too. Not a "great-Uncle"..... they adored him too much to think of him a generation removed. We send our condolences, and share in your sadness.
