Obituary:
Gerald Carl Wunderlich, formerly of Greenville, WI and Cloquet, MN, aged 76, was taken home on February 10, 2016 due to a tragic accident that took place in Goodyear, AZ.
Jerry was a devoted husband to his wife Sherry. They recently traveled to Norway to celebrate Sherry's 75th birthday. Family was important to him bringing them on multiple project assignments. He loved doing his grandpa duties with the grandkids keeping up to date with their activities and teaching them to fish, golf, and enjoy fireworks.
He took God's word seriously loving his neighbor by adopting and caring for his golfing buddies Bobby Behr and Arnie Johnson. Jerry was a member of Life in Christ Lutheran Church. He loved to cook and entertain his friends after a day on the links. Jerry was an avid sports fan and NFL team owner. He could talk about the Wisconsin Badgers, Green Bay Packers, and NASCAR with anyone. He loved working for Oscar Boldt Construction back in Wisconsin and Minnesota, but was fortunate to retire early and enjoy the warmth of Arizona. He had many hobbies including fishing, gardening, feeding wildlife, and putting on the most awesome Christmas displays.
