Obituary

BOULDER JUNCTION - Jerrold R. “Jed” Jolin, of Boulder Junction, Wis., passed away peacefully on Feb. 27, 2022. He was born in Birnamwood, Wis. on April 7, 1933, to Donald and Verle Jolin. Jed was the second of six children. He graduated from Lakeland High School along with his wife of 66 years, Line't (Wahl) Jolin, who passed away Dec. 25, 2017.


Jed got his Bachelors' degree from the University of Wisconsin- LaCrosse. He had a successful career as a teacher and a coach in various towns in Wisconsin. He grew up on a resort in Boulder Junction, where he was a fishing guide. It became his second career that eventually earned him a prestigious "Hall of Fame" award in 2003 as one of the best freshwater fishing guides in all of Wisconsin, memorialized in Hayward. Jed and Line't settled in Whitewater, Wis., where they raised their four children, Diane (France), Jere (Minocqua), Lori (Madison), and Reid (Encinitas, Calif.).


Jed is survived by his four children, eight grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren that live all over the world. He will be laid to rest alongside his loving wife in his beloved Northwoods. There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date this summer in Boulder Junction for friends and family. Jed had been residing at the Monona Heritage Senior center for the past 4 years. He will be missed by his family, his friends, and his care givers, where he loved to sing and entertain them! Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

I had the privilege of helping Jed when he was living in Boulder Junction. He was such a delight and was so proud of his family. I loved hearing his fishing guide stories. The attached picture of him is by one of his favorite lakes, Trout Lake. He self titled it as, "Old Man by the Sea". My prayers are with his family. I'm blessed to have known him.
