Jack Edward Wolinsky Aka John Edward Wolinsky

Jack E. Wolinsky, age 88, Canadian born and raised, later USA citizen. He passed away peacefully in his home on March 30, 2019, in Torrance, California, USA, surrounded by his family.

He was born at Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on February 28, 1931. He loved the outdoors; he fished, golfed, hunted, hiked and traveled. He practiced Roman Catholic religion his entire life.

While attending a Knights of Columbus dance, he met Anne V. Thibert who became the love of his life. They honeymooned in Quebec City and Montreal and later had three children. In the mid-1960's, Jack moved his family to California to be closer to his brother Lawrence and family.

Jack worked in car sales and management, both in Canada and USA. He was a successful businessman and purchased a newly constructed cabin which he called "the Wolinsky Chalet"
in Big Bear Lake, California. This beautiful second home reminded him of the natural beauty of Canada.

Jack is survived by his wife of 64 years, Anne and his children, Deborah Wolinsky Reynoso (Ron) Redondo Beach, CA, Mark J. Wolinsky (Linda), Santa Cruz, CA and Colette Dunn-Kottke (Karl), Lomita, CA.
