He is the beloved husband of Helen and devoted father to Selina. Jerry was born to Teresa and the late Bruno in Italy and immigrated to Canada when he was just a child. He is survived by his sister, Bruna and will be missed by many extended family members and friends.Jerry worked at Canada Post as a Letter Carrier for 35 years, retiring in 2021. He was an avid golfer, hockey, and baseball player in his younger years. He loved watching golf and hockey, especially the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Jerry enjoyed doing his daily morning Sudoku and found it to be a great way to stay sharp.

Jerry, you are one of the the good ones. The last few of an elite breed. You are certainly the OG of our workplace and kept it old school. That was something I was drawn to and I think it made for a great working relationship.
My condolences to your family. You will be sorely missed. They don’t make ’em like you anymore. I know that you have had a fulfilling life with many experiences and memorable joys. One of those experiences was teaching these young boys here a thing or two about work. You are a champion to everyone.
I wish I had a better opportunity to give you the retirement celebration you deserved. They kicked you out of here because they didn’t want 70 year old badasses working during Covid… but when you were 69, it was ok, right?
The next shot of Jack is for you friend. I miss you.
My dear friend, my deepest condolences to you and Selena. My heart and thoughts are with you both.
Helen… I am stunned and at a total loss for words. Your loving posts of you and Jerry and Selina’s growing up to be an adult have always been a highlight for me to read, and to see all the pictures. My deepest condolences to you all. May the years of happy memories somehow provide you with support going forward. Ironically, I am a co-organizer of a memorial here in Mississauga in the late morning of the 13th and I will head to Welland to help comfort you as the day progresses. My love to you and Selina. ❤️
Our most sincerest condolences to Helen and Selena . Be at peace knowing he is in Heaven now free of pain . God bless all the family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Helen and Selena and family. Jerry will be missed by all that had the privilege of knowing him! ❤️
