Jerry was born November 4, 1942 in South Garryowen, IA the son of Raymond and Florence Kinsella. He graduated from Loras Academy and served his country with the Iowa Army National Guard. Jerry loved to go out dancing at Melody Mill and married his sweetheart, Donna Roling on September 4, 1965 at St. Catherine's Catholic Church in St. Catherine's, IA. Jerry joined the electrical apprenticeship and opened Kinsella Electric Company. For 50 years he was known to be seen all around Dubuque in his red Kinsella Electric pickup, with a pipe in his mouth and scotch locks in his pocket. He also loved taking Donna for dinner on Saturday nights. His favorite was always a steak filet dipped in hot butter. Jerry was a very generous soul, who never let anyone else pay for dinner. Jerry enjoyed playing euchre, bowling (as a member of the 700 Club), and golfing. He made many card playing friends at the Elk's Club in Dubuque. He loved watching his grandkids grow up and gave many lawn mower rides.
