John (Jerry) Bruce Gerolamy
1929 ~ 2022
On Tuesday December 20, 2022 Jerry (John Bruce) Gerolamy, aged 93 years passed away after a short stay at Boundary Trails Health Centre in Morden, MB.
He is survived by his son, Greg Gerolamy (Ruth), son in law, Dale Cox, granddaughters, Tara Bairos (Dino), Tiffany Propp (Jason), Tanya Gerolamy, Tenille Gerolamy (Ashley Watsko), great grandsons, Carter and Matthew Bairos, Christian and Maxx Propp as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Living to the age of 93, Jerry was predeceased by many including his beloved wife, Leona (nee MacLean) and his daughter, Lynne Cox.
Jerry was born on July 6, 1929. He grew up in Rocanville, SK and married Leona in 1949. In 1950 they welcomed daughter, Lynne and son, Greg in 1952. Jerry’s career with CP Rail took the family all over the country. When he retired, he and Leona moved to their beautiful home on the lake near Kenora, ON. As they got older, they moved back to Manitoba spending a few years in St. Anne, Steinbach and finally to Homestead South in Morden.
Jerry and Leona enjoyed many sports together, including baseball, curling and golf. He was able to golf right up to last summer, and still usually had the lowest score of the group. Jerry also enjoyed cards, playing weekly games of cribbage with Greg, keeping a logbook of wins and losses so they’d know who owed who a quarter.
He enjoyed playing cards on the computer, watching the Roughriders and keeping tabs on his family. He loved knowing what his grandkids were up to and was so proud to talk about his great grandsons. Our small family will miss him immensely.
A private service will be held at a later date.
