JERRY SERVED IN THE FORCE FROM APR 2, 1968 TO JUN 27, 1992.
 

Jerry passed away peacefully in Edmonton, on October 22, 2020, at the age of 72.

Jerry was born on January 26, 1948. He grew up in Saskatoon, and attended St. Frances School, then Aden Bowman Collegiate. As part of a large family, hijinks was his nature.... with one of his little brothers usually taking the brunt of his fun.

Jerry only ever wanted to be a police officer and was very excited to be accepted into the RCMP. He graduated on October 7, 1968, at Penfold, Alta, and was eager for his 1st posting at High Level, Alberta.

From High Level, his stations continued in Alberta through his career, to Peace River, Calgary, Rocky Mountain House, Grimshaw, Vermillion & Edmonton. His RCMP career included two Commendations. One for having the highest academic marks, the other for Bravery in calmly disarming an individual.

Jerry married Joann in October 1974. They were blessed with 2 children; Brian in May, 1976, and Kevin in April, 1980.

Upon retirement from the RCMP, in 1993, Jerry found a new passion! Antiques! He started a new career as manager of Hello 5 Antiques for his good friend Rod Church. Jerry loved it!

His other passion? Football! More specifically The Riders & The Patriots. Any game day, you could find Jerry glued to the tv, yelling loudly... at the players, at the coches, and at the refs!

Jerry was predeceased by his parents George & Jane Mones, his brother Jack Mones, his brother-in-law Bob Cherneski, his nephew Christopher Schick, and his nephews Kevin & Kelly Cherneski.

Jerry is survived by his ex-wife Joann and their 2 sons and grandchildren. Brian and his wife Michele Vysohlid, and their children Chloe & Hayden. Kevin and his wife Jackie Zurborg, and their children Kennedy & Anders. Nothing made Jerry prouder then being able to connect with them.

He is survived by his sister Kathy Cherneski, brothers Jim (Sandra) Mones & Bob Mones, sister Leslie (Brian) Clark, as well as many nieces and nephews.
