He was predeceased by his parents, Cecil and Simone Plunkett. Jerry moved to Pinawa in 1964 with his family. He began working with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited in 1972 and was presently working as a member of the Decommissioning Team. He loved his job and all his co-workers, and always spoke of them with kindness. Jerrys legacy was his love for the Lord, his children, grandchildren, his family, nieces and nephews and his wife and best friend, Connie. Jerry was the rock of our family and the first person wed turn to for prayer or support. Jerry was known for his patience, kindness and willingness to help and give of himself to others. He always had time for everyone, and his quick wit always brought a smile to his wide circle of friends.
