Jerry Munro, 80, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2024. A celebration of Jerry's life is being planned for a later date.

Jerry was born on August 18, 1943, in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was raised in St. Paul, Willmar and Sioux City, by Florence and Dave Munro. In 1961 he graduated from Heelan High School, where he was a proud member of the state championship football team.

On September 21, 1968, he married Diane Faye Reinking, and they made their home in Sioux City, Hawarden, Maurice and Orange City. Together they owned and operated the Central Cafe and Central Catering in Hawarden and Munro's Buffet in Le Mars and Sioux City. After retiring, he spent many years telling tall tales and making new friends at Golden Eagle Resort in Perham, Minnesota. Jerry had an infectious laugh and a smile for everyone he encountered. He truly never met a stranger.

Survivors include two sons and their wives, Jeff and Alexis Munro and Matt and Danni Munro; three grandchildren, Cade, Jenna and Landon Munro; three brothers and their wives, Jim and Cathy, Donnie and Bonnie, and Randy and Jo; and one sister, Kristine, as well as many in-laws and nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife Diane.
