It’s with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our family's beloved patriarch, Jerry North, on Tuesday, October 18, 2022.

Jerry began a 26 year career with Gannett Outdoor Advertising in June 1970 and left in August 1996 as its' VP of Operations. After leaving Gannett, he and his son, Lee, along with their wives, started North Construction Service, retiring from the business in 2002. Jerry was hard working, knowledgeable, well respected and loved by those who had the privilege to meet and work with him.

Jerry is predeceased by his parents, sister, Janice (Dave) Mikkelson and brother, Ronald North. He is survived by his devoted wife, Norma, three children, Lee (Susan), Brett and Vonda North and granddaughter, Emma (Isaac) Hite. He also is survived by his sister Barbara Ulferts and many in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Jerry was a loving and devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. A true servant of the Lord, he showed kindness and gave time to everyone he met. Lee has often referred to him as John Wayne, and he was indeed that to those of us who knew him well. He will be deeply missed.

A memorial service and light luncheon will be on Friday, November 11, 2022 at 11:00 am. First Lutheran Church. 4000 Concord Blvd., Concord, CA.
