Jerry Mensch
Feb. 14, 1951 - Aug. 26, 2010
 Jerry
Mensch died Thursday (Aug. 26, 2010) surrounded by his family after a
brief battle with liver cancer. He was born in Mason City to Maureen
O'Brien Mensch and Jack Mensch and grew up in Plymouth, where his love
for animals, goats and running barefoot started.
Jerry's first job was cooking at the Yacht Club in Clear Lake. He lived
in Waterloo, graduating from Columbus High School in 1969. Jerry opened
the first "head shop" in Mason City, The Family Trade Center, on South
Federal Avenue.
He married Ann Noland in 1972. They lived on the Mensch Family Farm and
then their own farm outside Plymouth. Jerry worked as a silversmith and
goldsmith for Morel Jewelers in Mason City while raising goats,
peacocks, guinea hens, Great Danes and mastering organic gardening.
Jerry had a goat dairy in Plymouth, and showed goats all over the US. He
became a National Goat Association judge reaching the senior judge level
and loved helping both kids and professionals see the beauty and
strengths of each animal.
Jerry moved to Welcome, Mass., in 1986 as head herdsman for Brentland
Goat Farms.
Moving from one coast to another in 1996, he managed the goat herd and
breeding program for Redwood Hills Goat Dairy Farms in Sebastopol,
Calif. Jerry moved back home to the Midwest in 2005.
Jerry's most recent venture was his eclectic shop, Worn Edges on Main
Street in Clear Lake. He designed custom jewelry, continued to do silver
and gold repair, sold antiques and made unique organic mirrors. He
raised Cavalier King Charles Spaniels who became beloved members of many
families.
Jerry (aka the dog guy) took daily walks around Clear Lake with his pack
of cavalier spaniels. He attracted friends wherever he lived, worked or
played and introduced many of us to new friends.
Jerry honored Mother Earth by creating and nurturing his gardens as he
needed his hands in the dirt to complete his day. He was vibrant in his
work and in how he lived his life. Jerry was feeling the desire and
still creating jewelry in the days before he died.
His greatest accomplishment and that which brought him greatest pride
was his son, Joel, with whom he shared his artistic talents.
Jerry is survived by his son, Joel Mensch, of Walker, Minn.; sisters,
Kathy (Gene) Watson of Manly, Anne (Dennis) Muehlstedt of Clear Lake,
Jean Welsford of Muskego, Wis., lifelong friend, Ann Noland of Walker,

Mensch; brother, Tom Mensch; grandparents, Happy and Glenn Mensch and
Agnes and Bill O'Brien.
Jerry hosted Labor Day pig roasts on his farm east of Plymouth for many
years in the '70's and '80's which brought friends from far away
together again.
Jerry wanted to have "One Last Pig Roast" so that is how we will
celebrate his energy, legacy and spirit. The best pig roasts have
family, friends, music, stories, bonfires, potlucks and a pig.
