Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Jerry Zwarych of Waterdown announce his
passing at the age of 92 after a long battle with dementia on October 30, 2022 at
Chartwell Brant Centre in Burlington. Jerry will be lovingly remembered and greatly
missed by his beloved wife of 63 years, Jenny. Beloved Father to Barb (Rob), Donna,
and Bob (Julie). He was always Dzadiu to his grandsons, Christopher, Alexander, and
Nicholas and will be remembered during younger, happier times.
Originally arriving in Canada in 1939 from Poland as a young child of 9, Jerry learned
how to thrive in a new country with his mother, Annie Zwarych (Olender) and father,
Luka Zwarych. Starting a 37 year career with Ford at the age of 25, he labored diligently
at work and at home for his whole life. While he retired at the age of 62, he still loved
tinkering; and taking things apart, to Jenny’s great dismay, she let him continue to do
what he loved. He will always be remembered for being the “fix-it” man as no task was
too difficult for him to attempt. He also thoroughly enjoyed spending time in his garden
tending to his fruit trees. Wild mushroom hunting and walking through the woods was
always a favorite time every fall. A deeply religious man, Jerry never wanted to miss
Sunday mass. Desiring more involvement in the church, he became an usher and
served his parish for over 10 years in the role he came to love and look forward to.
He will be greatly missed by his family, but especially by his loving wife Jenny.
