I have fond memories of Jerry teeing up against him in the afternoon Moose Golf League. You could somtimes see that he was in pain and every swing hurt him,but he kept on swinging away. We lost a great father, friend and sportsman but heaven gained another angel. Our deepest sympathy to the family. Randy&Debbie Robertson Decatur, IL US
I have fond memories growing up across the road on Spruce St. watching the older "kids" be "older" and summers playing with my buddy Tim! I have memories of being over at your house and watching movies in the afternoon on “Dialing for Dollars” with Jerry relaxing after a long day of work. Even tired he had such a fun sense of humor! Even though as a child his humor would intimidate me at times I grew to learn that was Mr. Neisslie’s way of having fun! I also remember how cool it was that Jerry would whistle out the front door which signaled for all the Neisslies – time to come home! I knew that whistle meant supper was ready or later in the night it meant the kids best be getting home, the street lights are on! I hope in your time of loss you can reflect on the small moments such as these and realize in so many little ways Jerry touched so many lives. -Lesa Allison Hassinger. My deepest condolences to you and yours. Maroa, IL US
I remember so well Jerry's sense of humor. He always seemed to make me laugh as a teenager in high school, being friends of Linda and Mark's and also as a young adult. My parents so enjoyed the company of him and his wife many years ago.With many thoughts and happy memories, our thoughts are with the family.Penny Meador Huber Decatur, IL US

Hang onto the fond memories. He will be missed by many. I'm sure he's already met up with his parents, his Aunt Kate, Uncle Harry and grandson Matthew in heaven. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
