Patsy, Greg, Troy, and the Entire Gurtner Family,

We are truly saddened to hear of Jeri’s passing. He was a true gentleman and caring person. It was always a pleasure when Culver and LaVille would meet up for an athletic event, knowing we would meet up with Jeri and your family. We will always cherish those memories in competition and friendship. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my condolences. I would have preferred to extend them in person but i'm on my way out of town for a few days.

I always enjoyed talking about sports, Corvettes, and farming with Jeri. I'm guessing he and Dean are already having an argument.

Regretfully

Patsy and family,
So sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Jeri as my PE and Dr. Ed. teacher, asst. baseball coach and then a fellow staff member at LaVille. He always had a smile and was very popular with his students. And, was he ever a Lancer fan, just a slight bit vocal in the stands.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Tom and I are praying for you at this time. Jeri was such a nice man with a wonderful smile. I enjoyed him as my drivers ed teacher and also letting us stop at the DQ.😊

God be with you❤️

I am so sorry to learn that Jeri has passed. He taught me how to drive and I am sure I gave him some gray hairs since I had never been behind the wheel of a car before then. Patsy played the organ at our wedding. My deepest condolences Patsy and all of his family, he was definitely a very nice, kind man.
