<div itemprop="description">Jerry Gerben Vanderwal (1949-20250, although born in the Netherlands was very much Irish at heart. Family and home were his priorities. Gatherings of the clan - family and friends were the high points of his days. <br> <br>Predeceased by his parents Jacob and Willy-Marie, sister Wilma (Herb), Jerry is fondly remembered by his wife Charmian, his children (Morgan and Jessica Vanderwal and Jessical McGrath; and by extended family, Melanie Dubord), siblings Frits (Sandra), John (Diane), Henny (David) nieces and nephews and grandchildren. <br> <br>Life was full of involvement in Scouts, Swimming, Diving, Soccer, Softball. If Jerry wasn’t participating, he was cheering the kids on; always encouraging them to do their best. And have fun! <br> <br>His work in sales garnered the same intensity. Do your best; give your all; make sure the customer has what they want and need to help their businesses grow. <br> <br>Jerry’s passing has left a profound void in the lives of everyone that he interacted with. He would not want us to mourn his passing; but celebrate his life and all he brought to those of us lucky enough to know him. <br> <br>Please join us in the Celebration of Jerry’s life at our home on June 8th, 2025. For address or directions please contact one of the immediate family members. <br></div>
