Obituary for Michael Jerome Cafferky
On October 12, 2017,
Jerry Cafferky peacefully slipped away from us at the Delta Hospital at the age of 89. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Joan, who lovingly and unselfishly cared for him until the end. Jerry cherished his “Joanie” and appreciated her immensely. His legacy now lives on through his children, Patrick, Kelly, Michael (Lori), Kevin, Erin (Kirk) and Colleen as well as his brother Blair (Rita), 13 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Jerry's youth was spent in Vancouver, BC where his love and participation in boxing and auto racing and his many shenanigans left him many colourful stories with which he would entertain us all.
Jerry spent his working years in sales and sales management with Eatons, Woodwards and finally Norsat International, a BC high tech company in the satellite receiver equipment industry where he greatly elevated the company's sales. His wit and easy going manner allowed him to build lasting relationships with employees, co-workers and customers over the years.
Retirement gave Jerry the time to embrace his true passion, his love of dogs, and to pursue his desire to help people achieve independence with them. Jerry and Joan welcomed many puppies into their lives and into their hearts over the years and it always filled Jerry with a sense of excitement, enthusiasm and great pride. They were his extended family and he loved to follow their progress over the years.
To all of you, family and friends, we wish you peace and contentment of body and soul always. It is a wonderful world out there and Jerry had many fond memories.
The funeral will be held Wednesday, October 25th, 11:00 at Sacred Heart Parish, 3900 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC with reception to follow immediately afterwards. To honour Jerry, please bring your smile, much laughter and a great story to share.
In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.
