    Such a great guy! Sure loved seeing his smiley face at Elmer’s Christmas Parties and of course at Schnuck’s when we were handling our Beer business. RIP Jerry.
    Your friends at Krey Distributing.

    Jer, your troubles are over and you can now rest. Know that you will be deeply missed and we are thankful for the many wonderful and crazy memories of our times together. I do ask just one more thing of you – please keep an eye out for your buddy, Steve. He needs a guardian angel.

    Love you and Godspeed Jerry.

    I’ll miss you Uncle Jerry, some of the best summers of my youth were spent with you at the track and at your butcher shop. Going to Old Nellie in your truck for more meat. I grew up smoking Marlboro’s and drinking bud so I could be like you. I use to shake your cans of beer just to see it spray when you opened it. I had one of the best 4th of July’s at your house in St. Charles. I love ya man. Say hi to your big brother, my Dad, for me. Your Nephew chuck

    I am so sorry to lose my “little brother” but glad that he is at peace and now with his big brother Bill. I have lost two of the best men I’ll ever know. I’ll always love you guys and miss you both every second of every day!
