Sending our heartfelt condolences to your family for your loss.

On behalf of the Badger Honor Flight Board and all our volunteers, we extend our deepest condolences to you all, the family of Jerald Slack. We are forever grateful and thankful for Jerald's service to our great country. What an honor it was for us to take him on his well-deserved trip of a lifetime. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I learned of Jerry’s passing this morning at FUS when his named was called on All Souls’ day. Jerry and I and Neal Steinhoff and John HIpp had in the late 1960s/early 70s a brief but fun friendship as we reorganized the old Bureau of Engineering in the Dept. of Administration. Jerry stood out as the smart, talented, sensitive guy among us. I recall a great party at his house one evening. We lost track as he moved to DNR and I moved around, but I kept track of his various promotions. Jerry was a great guy who made significant contributions to the health and welfare of Wisconsin. Rest in peace, Jerry. - Richard Seaman
