Jerry Mendelsohn

Went peacefully home, surrounded by his family on his 86th birthday, April 19, 2015. Beloved husband of Karen for 22 wonderful years. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Ruth (nee Fischer). Loving and devoted father of Debbie (John Eckl) Garven and Jodi (Jack Espinosa) Mendelsohn. Proud grandfather of Jamie (Matt) Dolsky and Jarrett (Kate) Hendrickson. Loving step-father of Kim Kellner and Curt (Naomi) Wagner. Proud step-grandfather of Mitchell, Maddie, Jerry, Brittany, Brady, McKenzie and Jackson. Dear brother of Elaine (Don), the late Mildred (the late Sol) and the late Jane (Lowell). Also loved by his puppies Yen and Ching, nieces, nephews, other family and friends.

Jerry enjoyed great success in sales with Superior Coffee Co. and other organizations. He was a 32nd Degree Mason and an active board member of the Variety Club. Jerry was an avid golfer and sports fan — especially football.
