In Honor of Gerry Gruettner

On Saturday, July 13th a great man was taken far too soon. Gerry "Norby" Gruettner unexpectedly passed away.  Gerry was a dedicated and loving husband,  great father, and amazing grandfather.

Gerry's infectious smile, laugh, and generosity touched the lives of many. Anyone that knew Gerry, knew he had one of the kindest and most caring souls. He was always willing to help others without hesitation. Gerry was well known in the community as he donated countless hours as a volunteer on the Wind Lake Fire Department, coached several Wind Lake youth baseball teams, and also was a coach for Racine Youth Sports Tigers Football Team. If you're lucky enough to know Gerry, his wife Char, and their sons Jason, Jerred, and Jordan, you know how much they give. Today, we'd like to ask everyone who knew them to give back.

Along with all of the emotional pain and stress this tragedy brings,  it also brings  financial burdens.  As family and friends, we are trying to raise money to assist Gerry's wife Char and the Gruettner Family with any costs that will incur. Please consider a donation to help this wonderful family during this difficult time. If you are not able to offer a monetary donation, please share this page. We also encourage everyone to keep their family in your thoughts and prayers.
