Gerald “Jerry” Charles Clyne was born July 11, 1940 to William and Hildegard (Wiedl) Clyne in New Ulm. He attended New Ulm High School. Jerry started his career as a welder as well as working in road construction. Jerry was united in marriage to Arlene Kitzberger on May 20, 1961. Their union was blessed with three children. The family relocated to Alexandria so Jerry could work at Land O’ Lakes and, later, owned and operated Jerry’s Bait & Gas. Jerry remarried Rita Alex on September 9, 1984. Jerry retired to New Ulm and worked at the Catholic Cemetery.

In his free time, Jerry loved to hunt and fish, garden, take care of his pets, and ride his Harley and motorcycles. He especially enjoyed getting to spend time with all of his friends and close family. Jerry will be especially missed by those that knew him. Blessed be his memory.
