My condolences to the family. I knew the family when my father and Jerry worked together at Friday canning and we lived across the creek from each other. The Wood family. I enjoyed seeing Jerry's work at the art fairs, which I attended as frequently as I could. I actually looked for him at all the events just to catch up and see his creations. I enjoyed his stories and his art work. He was a good man. God bess you all! Bernice (Wood) Baumgarten.Tomah, WI 04/27/2012 7:16 AM
