<div itemprop="description">It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jerry Waskul on May 29, 2015 at the age of 79.<br />He is survived by his partner Jean Berezowski; his children Peggy (Julia), Cheryl (Randy), Carrie(Tommy); his two sons and step-son Keith; siblings Mary, Willy (Olga), Olga (Frank), Ann (Len), Emile(Diane) and Jean (Randy); grandchildren Jake, Kali, Tiffany and Justin, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.<br />He was predeceased by his wife Frances; parents Mike and Nellie; brothers Ben and Frankie; brothers-in-law Fred and Paul.<br />Jerry was born and raised in Vita, MB on a farm with eight siblings. He left home at an early age to pursue a career in long haul trucking. Driving became his passion and &ldquo;Big Wheel&rdquo; travelled North America doing what he loved.<br />Upon retiring from the road, he developed a successful general contracting business. He was a Jack of all trades, always ready to lend a hand. If it was broke he could fix it. If you wanted something built he could build it.<br />Jerry was a very social person. He was quick witted, charming and cheeky and people loved him. In the summer he would be at the cottage tending the yard, playing cards and horseshoes, and sharing a shot of his &ldquo;special drink&rdquo;. He was also an avid bowler and curler. His real passion was dancing and he could be found at the local Legion, showing them how an old time polka was really done. This passion led him to meeting his love Jean, with whom he was able to travel and dance with over the past few years. Jean has been his constant companion, supporting and caring for him through the toughest year of his life. He will be deeply missed by many!<br />Special thanks to the doctors and nurses on E6 at the St. Boniface Hospital, CancerCare MB, Drs. Butler, Kerr and Wong and their nurses.<br />Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main Street. Interment and reception to follow the service. <br />In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare MB.<br /><br /></div>
