Jerry left this world peacefully with his wife by his side. He leaves behind his wife, Linda, of 57 years, sister Carol (Dave), son, Daren (Christa), daughter Lori( Rick) and grandson Logan.
Jerry was born in Saskatoon Saskatchewan growing up as a farmer just outside Saskatoon in the Clavet area. To this day he still owns a small piece of land that his grandfather homesteaded on. As a young man he started working for UAB and continued working as an insurance adjuster throughout his life. Jerry and his family left Saskatoon, being transferred with work to Victoria, BC, then eventually to Vancouver where Port Coquitlam became home.
In his retirement years he enjoyed travelling with Linda in their truck and 5th wheel trailer spending months on the road discovering both coasts of Canada and USA and many points in between. While at home he spent many hours with Logan at playgrounds and skate parks, as well as many hours playing table tennis and floor curling.
Jerry had a wonderful sense of humour which he held onto right to the end. He will be missed by his family and friends. We want to say a big thank you to Crossroads Hospice staff & volunteers for the excellent care they gave Jerry in his last week of life.
Donations may be made in his memory to
