Mary Pat, I’m so sorry you lost your brother Gerry! I’m praying for your family.
Jerry was a good man, and was always a pleasure to work with. He will be remembered fondly.
My deepest condolences to the entire Haney family and friends. Gerry will surely be missed.
My wife Andrea and I were deeply saddened this week when we learned the news of Jerry’s passing. Jerry , Karen , Rachael ( and Gunther ) lived 2 houses away from us in Downers Grove for about 15 years . I liked Jerry’s sense of humor and my wife thought he had a great laugh . While Karen was doing terrific things at her job at Good Samaritan Hospital , Jerry was taking care of business at the railroad yards . As a caring family man that he was, we saw Rachael grow from a little girl to a high school graduate , That must have made Jerry very proud.
God bless Jerry and all his loved ones in this time of grieving.
