Jerome is survived by his wife of 49 years, Paula; his daughters Lana, Jodie (Darcy) and his son Cory. His pride and joy, grandchildren Nevin, Nate and Addison. His sister in law, Raymonde Bru, his brother Roger (Noel) and his brother in law Doug Whyte along with numerous nephews and nieces.

He was predeceased by his parents, Rene and Aurelie Bru, his father in law Paul Woytowich, his brother, Roland and his sisters, Marie and Claudette.

Jerome was known for his humour; story telling and love for his family and friends. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and golfer and enjoyed spending time at his cabin at Aquadeo. Over the past two and a half years of his diagnosis, he not once complained and had a smile for everyone. His large personality would always fill up a room. He will be greatly missed.
