Obituary of JERRY DUDYCH

DUDYCH, Jerry (Yaroslow) – With great sadness the family announces the peaceful passing of Jerry on Wednesday December 28, 2022, of Waterford at the age of 68.  A proud Ukrainian born in Toronto.  Dearest husband for 46 years to Lucy (Zdriluk).  Loving father to Ann Marie (and Jesse Ambo), Stephanie (and Drew) Bergman, and precious Gido to Eva and Kole.  Brother to Natalie Fostey, Myron (and Christine), Luba (and Frank) Tamas.  Son-in-law of Mary Zdriluk.  Brother-in-law to Mike (and Dianne), Bill (and Christine), Joe (and Val) Zdriluk, Ann (and Bordan) Tchegus.  Jerry will also be sadly missed by nieces, nephews, extended family, friends & by the many people with whom he conducted business with over the years. Predeceased by parents John and Anna Dudych, brother-in-law Henry Fostey, father-in-law Albert Zdriluk. Everyone will miss his ability to make people smile, his kind heart and simply his presence. He was an extremely hard-worker, whether it be in his mechanics shop, plowing snow, excavating or building homes. But he was most proud of his family and all their successes. He was always good for advice and gave many lessons over the years.  Some of his wisest while on fishing trips. He was always up for an adventure and during them he made some of the best memories of his life.
