Passed away at the age of 91 on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at Grand River Hospital. Beloved husband of Hedy for 63 years. Forever missed by his 3 children: Lynn (Bill) Strouth of Wasaga Beach, Gary (Kathy) Caskenette of Port Dover and Jamie (Ingrid) Caskenette of Kitchener. Jerry was blessed with 5 grandchildren; Natalie and Jennifer Strouth of Guelph, Tammy (Kevin) Sundberg, Kathryn Caskenette (Will Frost) and Stephanie Caskenette, all of Kitchener and further blessed with 3 great grandchildren Marissa, Brock and Peyton. He is also survived by his sisters Lorraine Andrews of Niagara-on-the-Lake and Leona (Peter) Chomitz of Kitchener and his sister-in-law Anita Caskenette of St. Catharines. Predeceased by his parents Louis and Margaret Caskenette and by his brothers Harry Caskenette of St. Catharines, Walter Caskenette of Cambridge (Preston) and his brother-in-law Stan Andrews of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Jerry was born September 30th, 1920 in Cambridge (Preston) where he lived until 3 years ago when he and Hedy moved to Doon Village Retirement Residence. Jerry was a long time employee of the Waterloo Region District School Board. After his family, his next true love was golf and he spent every possible moment at Doon Valley Golf Course along with his adoring wife, enjoying a round or two of golf. If you visited Jerry and Hedy in their home, you would often find Jerry in his basement repairing and making golf clubs or you would find him watching the golf channel.
