Sorry for your loss
Clesen Family…..I worked with Jerry at Lassing Pointe Golf Course. He was a very dedicated co-worker, and one to be counted on for handling any situation at the golf course. It was a true pleasure to know and work with Jerry. I offer my thoughts and prayers to the Clesen family.
Jerry will be truly missed.
Sincerely, Marty Kamer
So sorry for your loss
To the whole Clesen family….
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of flying with Gerry early on in my airline career in the 1990s. More than just a exemplary pilot and professional in his craft, he was one of the kindest gentleman I have ever met. Over the course of my almost 30 year airline career, he is one of the very few that I will never forget. It was a privilege to have known him and flown with him.
