Peacefully entered into rest at the Brockville General Hospital on Saturday, March 6, 2021. Gerald Anthony Nogiec, or “Jerry” as he was affectionately known, was born in Winnipeg MB on April 18, 1939. Jerry was predeceased by his parents Adam and Anne (nee Horrock), his siblings Dorothy, Alex, and twin sister Jane.

He is survived by his siblings Helen, Caroline, Marjorie, Henry and Edward, and his wife of 48 years Rita, his 4 children Derek (spouse Cathy), Ron (Karen), Rhoda (Frank), and Sandra (Ray); his 8 grandchildren Daniel, Stephanie, Mason, Ryan, Diana, Jordan, Hannah, and Abigail; and his 3 great-grandchildren Hailey, Bryn and Lucas.

Jerry grew up on the family farm in Gypsumville, Manitoba and moved to Winnipeg in 1956 where he met the love of his life, Rita McCaughan. Together in 1962 they moved to Toronto where he worked at Canada Malting for over 25 years and was kept busy with several small businesses during his retirement. He found a passion for volunteering his time at Habitat for Humanity Niagara, while helping his grandchildren through university. Jerry loved to spend time in Toronto, cheer on his favourite baseball team the Blue Jays, and travel with his family taking many trips across Canada and the US in the family motorhome.

Those who knew Jerry would remember him as a fearless jack-of-all-trades, always eager to lend a hand and so friendly sharing stories about his many adventures and people he had met along the way.

Viewing for family and friends will be on Monday, March 15 from 12:00 - 1:45 p.m. at the Irvine Memorial Chapel at Roselawn, 2451 County Rd 15, Maitland, ON K0E 1P0.

A private family funeral service and interment will follow. (See video below)

As expressions of sympathy, donations in his honour to Habitat For Humanity or Brockville General Hospital Palliative Care will be gratefully acknowledged.

Send condolences or share a special thought of Jerry on the Memory Wall above. Thank you.
