  4. Across the miles I send my sympathy, support and prayers. Hold dear the memories! Nancy, May your dad now watch over and guide you as you grieve and find a way to go on. I visited with your dad a few times when I would sit and help my mom eat and he always talked about how happy he was when you would stop by to visit. He knew you were busy but would make time to stop. Even though I didn’t get a chance to talk much at my moms funeral it was thoughtful that you came. God bless you always. Barb Heien

  11. Gerry was a good friend of my dad, Emery Jankord. He helped him a great deal with our refrigeration needs in the old café that was behind the Rexall drug store, formally Dale’s Pharmcy. He was also key in the new Emery’s 212 Café that opened in the Odd Fellows building in 1965. He and Nels Wahlen built a freezer in Nels garage to be used in the new café out of wood and copper tubing. He was a friend and a good man. Gregg
