Gerald "Jerry" Pikus

Gerald J. Pikus 1940 - 2014 | Obituary | Condolences 1940 ~ 2014 Our world is absent one of our favorite people. Jerry was born in Duluth, MN., April 7, 1940, to Frank Joseph and Martha Martin Pikus. He then proceeded to live 10 lifetimes in one. This was an honorable, intelligent, fun and funny guy who held deep beliefs and never wavered in his sense of duty, responsibility and an intolerance of injustice. Despite his guarded privacy, he was a genuine friend to those to whom he was close and a respectful, helpful mentor or student to everyone else. His quiet assuredness was a strength to many. He was a talented, thorough perfectionist and, simultaneously, profoundly humble. Jerry died March 10, 2014, following a brief illness. As bespeaks his character, he donated his remains for scientific research. There will be no service. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a Charity of your choice.
