Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGERALD (JERRY) JOSS June 28, 1943 - January 1, 2018 With broken hearts, we announce the tragic and sudden passing of someone loved so dearly. Jerry was immediately surrounded by the love of his family and he left us peacefully. He was 74. Left to cherish his memory are his children, Nadine (Randy), Donna (Chris), Kevin; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, his beloved wife of 51 years, Rose, and grandson Cody. Jerry had the biggest heart. He was so generous, he'd drop everything and give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. He would even predict and meet your needs before being asked for help. He was always kind and very understanding. He served in the Armed Forces, first in the Royal Canadian Navy, and then the Air Force. After retiring, he worked as a civilian on the Air Force base. He again retired and worked part time with Sears and Piston Ring, making many friends along the way. Jerry helped to care for his wife in Deer Lodge Center till she passed away, and he remained a regular volunteer for the next year. Jerry was Veteran, and an active Legion member. He loved playing the VLTs and socializing with his many friends. He loved music, spending time with family at the cottage, fishing, and eating together, attending church, and watching all sports. His favorite place to be was in the stands, cheering with intense emotion as family members played. He was their biggest fan and faithfully attended most events. Jerry is already deeply missed, but we are comforted knowing he is with God, in heaven and at peace. The family wishes to thank the EMS, staff of Health Sciences Centre ER and MICU for their compassionate care. Cremation has taken place. A private family burial will be held in Fisher Branch, MB. A celebration of Jerry's life will be held Friday, January 12, 2018, at St. James Legion, 1755 Portage Ave. - Upper level. Family and friends are welcome to come anytime between 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jerry's memory may be made to a charity of your choice.

What a shock and loss to his family, friends and neighbourhood. Jerry was always generous with his time, talents and thoughtfulness. When my mom was his neighbour he always kept an eye out for her and her needs and the family will be forever grateful. I saw Jerry only a few weeks ago and although I enjoyed our short chat I never could have imagined that it would be our last. May he rest in peace. Sincerest condolences to the family! He will be missed! - Posted by: Olenka Bilash (Friend) on: Jan 06, 2018
