Gerald Francis Bastian

The volunteers, flight team and board of Badger Honor Flight mourn the loss of their hero, Gerald Bastian. We are thankful for his military service and so very sorry we were unable to take him on the trip to Washington, D.C. Our sincerest condolences.

Pat, so sad to hear of your loss! Condolences & prayers to you & your family. I first got to know Jerry in 2008 when I became a DD. Jerry mentored me & made the job a lot easier with his example & guidance! I will always remember Jerry as a friend & advisor. God Bless & RIP. Bob & Rochelle Birrenkott

We appreciate all Jerry did for our Verona Council. We could always count on Jerry to see that the Honor Guard was there to see that our Silver Rose Ceremony was a Special Tribute to Mary. Bill LaBerge PGK MSGR Schmelzer Council 11155

I apologize for my late response but I just learned of his death. Gerry was part of the group that went to Rome from St Patrick’s with Fr. Michael in June of 2019. He was very helpful to all of us and had many stories to share. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. May he rest in eternal peace with our Lord. Carmen Reamer
