Jerry will be joining his beloved wife of 49 years, Heather, who preceded him in death June 27, 2014. Much-loved father of Leslie Susanna (Angelo), and Troy Silliker (Laïta). Jerry leaves behind his three adoring grandchildren Zachary, Melody and Jeremy Susanna. Son of the late Ward Silliker and Freda Payne, Jerry is predeceased by his siblings Muriel (Loyal), Ella (Kenny) and Huxley. Jerry is survived by his siblings Elmer (Elizabeth), Ruthann (Jimmy), Mary, and Stephen (Roberta), and an extended family of nieces and nephews. Jerry was an easygoing, loving family man for whom sports was his greatest pleasure. He will be sure to be rooting for his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs from the great beyond, cheering them on to their long-denied Stanley Cup. The family would also like to thank Etobicoke General Hospital palliative/hospice care staff who took great care of Jerry in his final days.
