Gerald (Jerry) E. Salo

Mr Salo was my teacher in 1979-1980. I Still have a great interest in World Studies today. Rest in Peace, Mr Salo.

Jerry was a special person........he was Jeannne's high school social studies teacher and Jim's room mate and fellow teacher in Butternut. He was an usher in our wedding in 1966 and has been a special friend over the years. He will always be remembered............especially for his great ability to tell jokes and entertain those around him. Our sincere sympathy to Liz and all the family. Love, Jim and Jeanne Perala

I am so sorry for this huge loss to the Salo family. My heart hurts for all of yall. I only had the honor of meeting Mr. Salo once, but I can see what a wonderful man he was through the life of his daughter, Katie. I can't help but cry just thinking about the pain you are going through right now. I am praying for all of yall. I love you, KS.

Mr. Salo was a teacher of mine at Middleton HS. And the thing I remember most was he always had a friendly hi for everyone. Yes he was a good teacher but most importantly a nice person. Condolences to the Salo family. Kathy (Sjoquist) McQuillan

Mr. Salo was my favorite teacher. I can distinctly remember so many of his stories and his lectures. Some of my favorites include his singing of sixteen tons, reading about Scandinavian history, and threatening to 'sit' on whatever class clown interrupted his class. What I did not know then, that I do know now with my disabled son, is that many of his teachings went well beyond textbooks and how you manage the less than perfect realities of life through humor and love. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family for your loss. Just know, that I always saw him in each of you. Thank you Mr. Salo for sharing a bit of your wonderful life with me.
