The loss of Jerry is a big one! We have seen him play dozens of times at various events.

We saw him at the NE Iowa Jam just 2 weeks before his passing, so I'm happy that he was still able to get around and enjoy himself even late into the progression of his illness.

Requiescat in Pacem, Jerry!

hi Jerome,

Barb and I thank you sincerely for asking us to participate in the celebration of your Dad's life. As you know, Jerry meant so much to both of us and it was evident he touched many, many other lives too. We'll miss his warm personality, humor, and creative steel playing. He was our hero.

The hugs, acceptance, friendship, openness, and caring expressed by all members of the Dube family make you guys truly unique. We'll keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Be proud of your Dad, Jerome. And let us know when you're ready to jam w/ us at the Northeast Iowa Steel Guitar Show.
