Jerry was like an uncle to us, growing up. My step-mother, Janet Manty, was raised in Kettle River, just down the road from the Ronkainen's place. Jerry was always generous with his time and advice if you were about to tackle a stone or tile job. Whether my Dad, Uncles, Cousins or me, before we started, it was always "Well, maybe we better call Jerry about this...". Jerry was one of those guys that you always looked forward to seeing and will be missed very much. Lavern, Jim & David, our sympathy for your great loss and prayers for your heart's healing from Jeanne and I. Sincerely, Ed Montgomery

I thank the Lord for Jerry. He was so faithful in serving at St. Paul's all the days of his life. I will always remember him. All those who leave the church, look down in the Narthex, you are looking at his handiwork. Terry Hoy
