 Jerry Riewer
April 15, 1937 - November 16, 2022 Gerald “Jerry” Riewer, age 85, died peacefully on November 16, 2022, surrounded by family in St. Cloud Hospital. Jerry and his twin sister, Geraldine, were born to John “Jack” and Cecelia Riewer in Bagley, Minnesota on April 15, 1937. When Jerry and Geraldine were 8 years old their mother died. Their Aunt Theresa Thul then helped raise Jerry, Geraldine, and their siblings Leroy, Eileen, Rose, and Peter. Nine years later when their father died, Theresa raised the kids on her own and refused to separate the children into foster care. Jerry attended Bagley Schools and participated in basketball and baseball. He graduated from Bagley H.S. in 1955. He went one year to Bemidji State University, and then worked a year as a Merchant Marine on the sister ship to the Edmond Fitzgerald on the Great Lakes. He realized that this type of work wasn’t for him so he returned to Bemidji State and graduated in 1960 with a Physical Education and Biology degree. While at Bemidji State he played Baseball and Basketball. |
