My heartfelt condolences to the Haapanen family for your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jerry as a vendor representative on and off over many years. Jerry was the heart and soul of Haapanen Brothers Inc. and I know that his business family is also suffering significant loss. I will long remember Jerry for his depth of knowledge and character, wonderfully shared stories, a great sense of humor, and a twinkle in his eye. Regardless the outcome, every meeting with Jerry was a delight. For me, Jerry was always teacher, coach and guide. God bless you Jerry, thank you for making a difference in so many ways, and forever rest in peace.
