Jerry immigrated to Toronto from Poland at the

Force from 1943-46. He spent his career as a
builder with D. Ross & Sons and devoted himself
from an early age to hard work and providing
for his family. He will be remembered for his
generosity and love for his family, as well as
the joy he received from music, including
monthly performances by the Advocats Big Band,
and watching sports with a keen
interest in horse-racing. Special thanks to
the dedicated staff at Carefree Lodge who
provided him with safety and comfort
during the pandemic. Memorial donations
may be made to the Alzheimer Society Ontario or
