Gerald "Jerry" Tschida
April 14, 1947 — January 11, 2018
Gerald "Jerry" Tschida of Pine City passed away Thursday, January 11, 2018 at the University of Minnesota Fairview Hospital in Minneapolis at the age of 70.
Gerald Eugene Tschida was born to Gene and Dorothy Tschida on April 14, 1947 in St. Paul, Minnesota and raised in Roseville. He graduated from Ramsey High School in June 1965 and started working for Chandler Wilbert Vault Company the following Monday. He retired after 43 years in 2008.
As a young man Jerry enjoyed playing softball (summers) and bowling (winters). He had season tickets to the Minnesota North Stars, Minnesota Vikings, and Saint Paul Saints for many years and enjoyed watching all sports.
Jerry and Jane moved to Pine City in October 2007. They joined Our Redeemer Lutheran Church where they made many friendships. Jerry enjoyed the men’s Bible breakfast and volunteering with the guys as long as his health allowed. Jerry battled lung disease his entire adult life which gradually diminished his ability to be involved in the community.
His greatest joy has been his three children and two grandchildren. Jerry had bad lungs but a strong, caring heart!
