Gerald “Jerry” E. Kline a lifelong Waukesha resident passed away unexpectedly on Friday, December 7, 2018 at the age of 65. He was born in Waukesha on June 29, 1953 the son of Gene and Connie (nee Brehm) Kline. He was a 1971 graduate of South High School. Jerry worked for nearly 30 years at Bimex as a CNC Programmer / Machinist and lastly at Engineered Pump Services Inc. from where he retired in April 2017. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, being outdoors in summer and watching the Green Bay Packers. Jerry was a man of principle – believing strongly in honesty and always doing “the right thing”. He was an accomplished jack-of-all-trades, with ability and patience to build, fix or reconstruct almost anything. He was giving of his talents and time to those in need and would freely share his life-learned advice to anyone who asked – and even those who didn’t but who he felt needed it anyway. He will be remembered for his kind and gentle spirit, his gift of being a peacemaker and as a loving and devoted husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend.
