Oh, Uncle Jerry, we had some good times together.... family reunions in Dog Creek, Canada, Spokane,or Lewisville Park; Saturday night Prime rib dinners', side trips in the southwest;family lunches,hot baths in Tecopa, birthday celebrations with Uncle John. Oh, so many memories. I'm glad we were able to grow closer together these past 12 years and I appreciated your sharing your life experiences and your practical advice. Chuck and I will miss you.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Uncle Jerry.

So sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. He was well respected by everyone in the Chevron family. I was fortunate enough to work for both Jerry and his brother John. My sympathy to your family.

When I think of Jerry Orthmeyer I think of enthusiasm and the biggest smile I have ever seen! He got so excited about the little things in life and passed them on to others. Most of all, the love of his family and life on the farm. He will be greatly missed by many.
My heartfelt sympathy,
