Treinen, 76, of Remsen, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, died at his home, surrounded by his family, on Friday, Aug. 3, 2007, after a lengthy battle with cancer.

To his first marriage, six children were born. In December 1964, Jerry married Gloria Peterson. They were married for 43 years, and to that union, two children were born.

He enjoyed pinochle, hunting, fishing, Seagram sours, and the company of his German shepherd, Queenie. He could often be found having coffee with friends and neighbors.
