Jerry J. OrsakSan angelo Jerry J. Orsak of San Angelo, passed from this life on Saturday, Nov. 19th, 2016, at the age of 91. Jerry was born on October 30, 1925, in Hochheim, Texas to Czechoslovakian immigrant parents Charles J. Orsak and mother Francis. Jerry married Ada Loretta Waters on August 31, 1979 in San Angelo, Texas and they shared 36 wonderful years together. They loved dancing to Polka music and all the Czech and German culture so they went to as many Polka festivals they could in the early years of their marriage. Jerry proudly and honorably served in the US Air Force from 1945-1947 and continued his military service as an Air Force Reservist or another 26 years after his active duty. He was very proud of his military service and the time he served in the European theater, most of which was in Germany. He retired from San Angelo Electric Service Company in 1991 after 43 years in management then went to work as an independent manufacturer's representative for Warco, Inc. which included him traveling over his service area that included New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana until he finally gave it up in 2012 at the age of 87. He was a member of the Elks Lodge #1880 since 1958. Jerry loved to spend time with family and one of his favorite sayings after a great family meal or one of his favorite chocolate milkshakes was - that was "Dobry", the Czech word for good. Jerry was a very kind, gentle, soft-spoken man that enjoyed the simple life. He was a doting spouse and a loving father, stepfather, grandfather, and great grandfather who was cherished by his family - who now must say Na shledanou!
