Gerald "Jerry" D. Reynolds, age 70, of Toledo, passed away Sunday, January 1st, 2012 at the University of Toledo Medical Center, surrounded by his family. He was born March 19th, 1941 to Gilbert and Evelyn (Glockner) Reynolds in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Jerry was employed in the Automotive Industry for more than 32 years. He began his career in Kenosha, Wisconsin with AMC, as a Member of the UAW and continued to work his way up to a Senior Management position with Chrysler Corp. After several years in Wisconsin, Jerry then moved to Toledo, working with Toledo Jeep, then to Canada where he retired. He then moved to New Mexico and began working with Motor Coach as Plant Manager. Another move to New York, continuing with Motor Coach, Jerry retired for the second time to Phoenix, Arizona. Retirement wasn't in the cards for Jerry, he was called again by Motor Coach and asked to come back to work in North Dakota.

A true outdoorsman, Jerry enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was also an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers, the Wisconsin Badgers and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Being a devoted family-man, Jerry treasured spending time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren and his great granddaughter.
