Jerry (Gerald) D. Brow
Jerry (Gerald) D. Brow — Age 68
On August 13, 2012, our spouse, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend entered into eternal life.
Although deeply saddened, we take comfort knowing Jerry was taken from us as he was enjoying his life's passion--flying. When he wasn't working on his plane or taking flying lessons, Jerry was an avid outdoorsman as well as an old car enthusiast. His most prized possession was his candy apple red, fully restored, 57' Chevy convertible. Through all his various interests, he touched the life of every person he met with his infectious laugh, personable nature and kind, generous heart.
In addition to his sociable nature, Jerry was a successful businessman. For many years he owned and operated Central Temperature and Better Home Heating in Neenah, Wisconsin. After retirement he enjoyed life in Winneconne, Wisconsin and filled his leisure time with boating, hunting, fishing, attending EAA, and touring old car shows. In the winter he resided in Brooksville, Florida where he pursued vacations to Disney World with family, golfing, ocean fishing and shopping at various flea markets.
At his time of death, Jerry was taken by the hand and lead to his eternal home by his oldest daughter Pamela Brow-Anderson. In December, he would have celebrated 50 years of marriage with his high school sweetheart, Kay. He was very proud of his daughter, Paula Brow Kasuboski, and her spouse Shawn. He spoiled and adored his seven grandchildren, Joel and Kailin Anderson, Justin, Emily, and Olivia Eichhorst, and Krystal and Lexi Kasuboski. He is also survived by his sisters, Eileen Brow and JoAnne (Jerry) Piotrowski; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ray and Doris Van Buskirk; and many nieces and nephews.
Please join us in celebrating Jerry's life on Saturday, August 18, 2012, at St. Mary Catholic Church, 210 Pleasant Dr. Winneconne. Visitation will be from 10 00 a.m. to 1 00 p.m. Funeral Mass to follow.
In keeping with Jerry's generous nature, in lieu of flowers, the family requests that monetary memorials be donated in Jerry's name to Rawhide Boys Ranch in New London, Wisconsin.
Please submit online condolences to muellerfuneralhomeinc.com
