With many years in the transport industry with Kingsway and Kindersley, Jerrys professionalism and sense of humour touched the hearts of the many people he knew. Mere words cannot express our deepest appreciation to Dr. Gorski, Dr. Mihalcioiu and Nurse Jayne, Dr. Ahmed and the Manitoba Cancer Care Chemotherapy and Radiation Treatment Staff. The family also wishes to thank nurse Barb Pyszczek at Concordia Hospital for her compassionate care for our Dad and family during his final hours. "It broke our hearts to lose him but he didnt go alone for part of us went with him the day God called him home." In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place and a Service of Remembrance will be held on Friday, October 13 at 7:00 p.m. for family and friends at Knysh Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main St. with Rev.
