Obituary
Zirkel - Jerome Louis (Jerry) of Holliswoods passed away peacefully with family present on August 31, 2019 at the age of 89. Loving and devoted husband to Evelyn (nee Schlitz); beloved father of William (Bernadette), David (Barbara) and the late Mary Lou; cherished grandfather of Kristen, Michelle, Daniel, Bryan, Natalie, and Emily. Also survived by his brother Don Zirkel and pre-deceased by siblings Gladys Wunsch, Gloria Simek, Peggy Maurer, Gene, Ray, and Vic. Adored godfather and uncle to many.
He was a man who always tried to help others and never sought anything in return. Family was the most important thing to him. He would never say no to a family gathering, where he loved to drink a manhattan and play pinochle. He will be dearly missed.
Please bring your favorite stories to share with everyone at the visitation and lunch.
