Remembering Jerry Rishel
Ruth Eddy
Each community has special people in it that make it unique. On Aug. 28, the Lewistown area lost one of its special people, Gerald Rishel. Gerald, known as Jerry, passed away while attending a Spikes baseball game with the Lewistown Rotary Club. Jerry’s obituary told us some things about his life. It spoke of his membership at the Trinity United Church of Christ, and of his membership in the Lewistown Rotary Club, the Lewistown Community Band, and his former membership in the Jaycees. The obituary also told us that he owned and operated his own architectural business for 40 years. There is so much more that he contributed during his time with us, and his service will continue to impact our local community for years to come. Let me share with you additional anecdotes about Jerry, who truly was one of the keystones of our community. Jerry’s architectural business spanned nearly the course of my life.
