In Celebration of

Jerry Forhan

January 26, 1944 -  February 9, 2017

Passed away surrounded by the love and comfort of his “girls”. A man of unwavering faith, boundless energy, sharp wit, and the most selfless heart that knew no limits. Cherished husband of Lina, loving and devoted father to Diana (Matt Oliver), Melinda (Ryan Bowes) and Karen (Chris Stiebel). Grampy will be greatly missed by Madeline, Caden and Zachary. He will be fondly remembered by his extended family and friends. Jerry was a dedicated teacher and principal with the Toronto Catholic District School Board for many years. To him working with children was more than a job, it was a vocation and privilege which he looked forward to every day. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W. at Burnhamthorpe Rd. on Sunday from 2-4 & 6-9pm. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Gregory’s Roman Catholic Church 122 Rathburn Rd. (at Kipling Ave.) on Monday, February 13, 2017, at 10am. Cremation to follow. In Jerry’s memory, donations to Dorothy Ley Hospice or a charity of your choice would be very much appreciated.
