JERRY HASENOEHRL Obituary

LAURENCE GERALD (JERRY) HASENOEHRL, a long-time Colorado Springs resident, went to be with the Lord on May 10, 2014 at Denver Hospice. He was 74. Jerry was born July 13, 1939 in Lewiston, Idaho, one of 12 children born to Laurence and Mary Hasenoehrl of Cul de Sac, ID. He graduated from Gonzaga University with an Accounting degree and worked 33 years as a Civil Service Auditor for the US Army with a couple tours in Tacoma, WA and Germany.

Jerry loved Colorado and spent much of his time fishing in the mountains. He claims to have caught the "big one" out of 11-mile Canyon, but set him free because he didn't have a cooler big enough to carry him back home. He was known for his numerous tall tales! He also enjoyed volunteering his time to help the less fortunate at a local soup kitchen.

Jerry is survived by his ex-wife, Mary Ellen and their three sons: Jon and Lisa of Oldtown, ID, Steve and Chrissie of Stanwood, WA, and Jim and Laura of Broomfield, CO, and his nine grandchildren: Trevor, Betsy, Danny, Ethan, Peyton, Jordan, Britien, Andrew, and Tyler. He is also survived by his siblings Fred, Patricia, Lloyd, Louis, Theresa, Richard, Philip, Jeanette, and Michael. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents and brothers Gorman and Joseph.

Services will be held at Holy Apostles Catholic Church (4925 N Carefree Cir, Colorado Springs, CO 80917) on Saturday, May 17 beginning at 10:30am with a reception following. Please contact (719) 579-4249 for more information. Jerry will be inurned at St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral in Colorado Springs.

Blessed father and grandfather.

As a child, you never think your parents, siblings or those around you will die. They are immortal. As we grow older and realize that our time on earth is limited and see our friends and family pass, it's imperative we embrace the moments we have with our loved ones. I only met Jerry a handful of times, but he was my uncle, loved as any other member of my family. I was sad to hear of his passing but take comfort that Grandma, Grandpa, brothers Gorman and Joseph, nephews Steve, Mark, Allen, Craig and Dale, along with countless other Hasenoehrls were there to greet him with open arms, show him the sights and take him fishing in all those new places heaven has to offer him.

Unheard of from the 70's, as a single parent, he did a great job raising my brothers and I. He was the most unmoved and stable person in my life. Goodbye my blessed father, a job well done, remain at peace, and I will see you in heaven.

I miss talking to Jerry on the phone. I remember all the times he said he had lit a candle or said a prayer for us. And the kids always had such a nice time with "Disneyland Grampa" when he came to visit.

Jerry will be missed. He was the Director of Internal Review for the 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson for nearly 20 years until his retirement about 1995.
