I will definitely miss Jerry. He always was full of life. Happy person. Not a bad bone in his body. Always willing to help in any way. My deepest condolences to the entire family.
I lost my oldest friend. We started kindergarten together and enjoyed our early years and adult years also. Jerry was a really good friend and loved by all. I’m sad.
We offer our sincerest condolences to Jerry’s family and friends. Always a straight up guy. He will surely be missed…May he rest in Peace.
Jerry will be truly missed. He was a great friend to both of us. Jerry was President of the DuPage Pioneers/Edison C.S.A. lodge for many years. He was a concerned and strong leader that always managed to oversee all lodge business. Jerry and I have always shared a love of good food and we shared many great meals together.
Jerry always treated the workers like family. He was a good friend. God bless you. Keep swingin.
Kind. Generous. Hardworking. Jerry had all those traits while volunteering at Bohemian National Cemetery. He set the highest standard for all of us. The entire BNC volunteer crew will miss him dearly.
Warmest hugs to the whole family on the loss of a kind man with a true servant’s heart. Always helpful with never a hurtful word. My whole family loved and respected him. Adam is out of town for business, or he would have been here to join in the tribute to Jerry in person. Deep love and sympathy from the whole Wilt clan.
