Growing up on Lutheran Street in Platteville in the 80s and 90s I had the pleasure of knowing Jerry and Joyce quite well as a child and still think of those days fondly. I was saddened to see this news and will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you all comfort at this time of great sorrow.
