He left this world peacefully, with dignity and grace, surrounded by his treasured family. Jerry was born and raised in Winnipegs North End. At the age of 16, he commenced employment with C.P.R. where he remained happily for 40 years before retiring in 1986 as an engineer. His love for the railroad remained with him always. Upon retirement he became a member of Rossmere Country Club and enjoyed the game of golf where he kept active with his many friends. Jerry enjoyed life to the fullest with his family and friends by his side. Left to mourn is his beloved wife and best friend of 49 years, Ollie; his sons, Don (Peggy) of Calgary and Chris (Marilyn) of Oakbank; his four precious grandchildren, Kelly and Chris Jr., Maggie and Holly.
