Jacka BronisJACKA, Bronis (Bruno)   - September 27, 1923 (Panevezys, Lithuania) - October 8, 2018 (Collingwood, Ontario)

In his 96th year, Bruno passed away on the 8th of October, 2018, in the company of his family.

Renata, his wife, best friend, and partner of 59 years, passed away in 2006, also in Collingwood, with Bruno at her side.

Born in Panevezys, Lithuania to mother Eugenia (1883-1945) and father Pranas (1881-1925), Bruno's siblings were Pranas (1915-1947, Siberia), Stephanja (1918-1992, Lithuania) and Adolfas (1921-1983, Lithuania).

Bruno, a very gifted student of a widowed mother left school after the 6th grade but continued learning with vigour.

He worked as a carpenter and farmer in Lithuania. He carried these on in his love of gardening and his wonderful skill with woodwork and construction.

With the outbreak of World War II, Bruno enlisted and served in the army with bravery. He met the love of his life while delivering mail in post-war Germany. After a whirlwind romance, he and Renata married and moved to Wawa, Ontario, Canada in 1947.

They retired to Collingwood, Ontario in 1993 and became vital members of the Mission of the Good Shepherd in Wasaga Beach, building both the physical church and its community.

Bruno was also active in the Legion of Collingwood and in the Knights of Columbus, Collingwood chapter.

Most of all though, he loved his family and he loved his dear wife. He now rests with her. He leaves behind his loving daughters Regina (Nepean, Ontario) and Monica (Stittsville, Ontario), son Michael (Sandra, Edmonton), and precious grandchildren Evan (Edmonton), Mark (Edmonton) and Lindsay (Edmonton).

Special thanks to Dr. Jesse Guscott, nurses Lisa and Chantal and all the staff at the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital whose kindnesses were so appreciated in Bruno's last days. Special thanks to Lynn, Mike, Carol and Duda.

And many thanks to all the friends that Bruno touched in his very full life. He was loved by many and will be missed by all. God Bless.

Visitation will be held at Fawcett Funeral Home, Collingwood, on Thursday, October 11, 2018 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Mass will take place at Lithuanian Martyrs' Church, 2185 Stavebank Rd., Mississauga at 11 a.m. on Friday, October 12, 2018.
