Gerald Kapitzke

Jerry was affectionately called "Beans" because he visited our cottage in Eagle River and promptly ate an entire crock pot of homemade beans Mom had just finished making!!! The name stuck. He was my cousin, neighbor, playmate and friend. He will be missed. Suzi (Wheeler) Fischer of Sebring, FL.

Deepest sympathy to Jerry’s family & friends. We had been forever friends. As a teenager we’ were neighbors too. Life was Fun 😋 Templin Liquor Store was the common ground for us there in the neighborhood . Jerry was at the wheel. RIP Will miss that Smile.

Our sympathy and prayers to Norma as well as Douglas and ChyAnne and their families. I am a cousin of Gerald. We have not been in contact since childhood but renewed family ties at the the time of John's funeral. Again blessings to all of you. Bob and JoAnne Reinhardt of Evansville, IN

ChyAnne, so sorry for your loss. I truly enjoyed your dads presence both at Miller Electric over the years and at the Miller Picnic. I remember the first time I saw Jerry talking someone in the weld shop and wondered how long he was going to stay on that ladder and converse with Carl Kroncke. Then I realized he was standing on the ground!! A big man with a big heart. You are evidence of his life well lived. I'm honored to be a small part of your life's journey. Prayers for you and your family. Don Keddell
