See Condolences

I knew Jerry when we were children. He lived close to my Grandma. He went to school with us. He was such a nice person. My sympathy to the entire family.

For short time I've known Jerry at Clearview, he was a kind hearted soft spoken man. He had lots of stories to tell. I got to know Jerry as his hairdresser. He will be missed. Prayers to his family.

Jerry was such a great "Man Cave" Buddy for my Father when he was a Resident there. Many stories (most were true, some with a lot of imagination) were shared between two Remarkable Men as they passed time together in front of the Windows. Their Friendship up above will now continue with many more stories to be told. Watch out Heaven! Peace to Jerry's Family in their time of Sorrow.

I remember as a young boy going to see Ellis, Jerry, & Jimmy with my dad Bud Mahnke. With Jerry being one my older cousins, I always hoped I would be as cool as Jerry someday.
God Bless,
Perry Mahnke

My sympathy to all of Jerry's family. Having taught his children and grandchildren, he was a very caring father coming to conferences for them
and wanting the best for them and was a proud grandfather. May your memories in your hearts help you as you go through this very difficult time.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Rest in peace Jerry you will be missed

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
