October 27, 1960 - November 8, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jerome Bozek at the age of 64 on November 8, 2024 at Georgian Manor, Penetanguishene. He is survived by his wife Suzanne Bozek and children Jenny and Dennis Bozek. Son of late Gwelda and Steve Bozek. Brother of Jeff Bozek (Adelina) and Andy Bozek (Joanne). He will be missed by his cousins, nieces and nephews, family and friends.
Jerome grew up in London Ontario but spent the last 35 years of his life living in the Georgian Bay Area. Jerome worked as a Process Technician for a manufacturing company when he first moved up to this area. He later went back to school to study nursing and worked at Georgian Bay Hospital in Midland as a nurse for many years.
Jerome was kind, creative and adventurous. He loved books, music and photography. He had a passion for the outdoors whether it be camping, fishing, sitting by the fire, biking, cross country skiing, or spending time at his cottage. Jerome was an artist with a great sense of humour. He made a lot of people laugh with his great storytelling and laughed a lot himself.
He was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s in 2018 at the young age of 58. As he progressed through the disease his love of dancing and music still shone through. He still smiled often and was happy to see his friends and loved ones.
We would like to express our gratitude to the PSWs, Nursing staff-and Dr. Stacy for the care they extended to Jerome during his time at Georgian Manor, LTC, Penetanguishene. We are grateful for their kindness and support. We would also like to thank the PSWs from Creative Care who worked with Jerome while he resided at home.
Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society.
A celebration of life will be held in the spring. Information will be provided at a later time with date and location.
