Our hearts are heavy with the passing of a dear friend and long-time employee. Jerry and Linda were very close in life and now they will be the same in the forever after. Our thoughts are with the dear son and daughter-in-law he is leaving behind. May they have peace knowing that their parents are once again joined in love.
Our sincere sympathy also goes to Omar Menard who has lost a dear son. It is not right for parents to lose their children; it is in reverse of the normal way of things. God bless Omar and give him peace.
May Jerry R.I.P. Celia & Paul
Jean & Delo Repose
Our sincerest sympathies go out to the Menard family. This was a complete shock to us all. R.I.P. Jerry.
Celia & Paul Cristofori
We want to express our heartfelt sympathy to Chris & Ellie in this most distressing time. It is a tragedy they must endure once again. Jerry and Linda were very close in life and now they will be together again in death. Linda wanted him near her.
Deepest sympathy as well to Omer Menard who has lost a dear son. Parents are not supposed to lose their children first. That is not the normal way of things. May God bless him and may Jerry R.I.P.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Jerry Menard. I had the pleasure of knowing him through our mutual employment at Nutmeg International. Jerry brought a great sense of humor to the workplace. I will not forget his catch phrases and that accent we so often enjoyed ribbing him for. I last saw Jerry at his home no more than few months ago, and it’s still sinking in that he’s passed on.
To his family, friends, and Jerry’s ECTS/Nutmeg family, my deepest condolences.
Tom & Karen Olszta
Tom and I send our heart felt sympathy to all of Jerry’s family. There are now words to express the sadness of losing Linda and Jerry in such a short time. I know they are together again. Sending our prayers and hugs to everyone .
