I'm going to miss you Jerry...You taught me so much...You should have written a book with your life experiences...You taught me about how life has many plot twists and shams plus lessons regarding greed, love and loyalty...You truly knew how to bring a person's true character - often with your sense of humor and touch of sarcasm...You were one of a kind and won't be forgotten by many... I'm sure you're sitting in heaven, looking down on us with a smile on your face...Rest in peace.

Arlen and family- Please accept my condolences in losing Jerry. When his shop was upstairs in the Iowa Theater Building, he used to come down to City News and Books to visit or tell a joke. He could always tell a joke with a straight face. I saw him again when I worked at Hills Bank & Trust downtown. He was a wonderful person and I know you will miss him so much, but please let your memories help to ease the pain. Again, my best to you.

To Judy, Donnie,Arlen and all of Jerry's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jerry was a wonderful person who was always happy and had a smile. We shared many laughs. I spent many a Saturday morning with my mom, Dorothy Hansen, at Jerry's while he did her hair. He also did mine many times. I can remember while I was growing up hair painting was a big fad. Do it yourself blond streaks. Well, Mom, bless her heart attempted to do mine and it turned orange. Off to Jerry's we went for him to save my hair and put it back to normal. Jerry will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I can remember when he and Arlen had their shop in the Paramount bldg. How many years ago was that? They were always going to Bishops to eat. Once again. our sympathy to all of you. LoiDana, Richard, Dr. Christina Miller and Christopher.

So sorry for your loss. My mother was a friend of Jerry's in Grinnell and then a hairstyling client at his salon here in Cedar Rapids. I became a stylist myself and always admired his many talents to not only hairstyling, but making his clients always feel beautiful inside and out. I enjoyed spending time with him at continuing education classes. A beautiful soul is now in heaven and will be missed so much.
