Gerald A. Solarski Sr. (“Jerry”), 76, passed away peacefully on Saturday October 6, 2018 at Samaritan Hospice with his loving family by his side.
Born in Trenton he was a long-time resident of Bordentown. Jerry enlisted in the United States Army in 1963, after being honorably discharged from the Army where he then continued to serve in the military by enlisting in the United States Navy Reserve; retiring after 15 years of dedicated service.
He was the owner of J&S Automotive and Lawn Mower Repairs for over 40 years. He sold the business in 2007. For the past 30 years, Jerry was employed as a bus driver for the Northern Burlington County Regional School District.
Jerry enjoyed traveling, attending community concerts, spending time at the library and working out at the YMCA. But his greatest joy in life was spending time with his family and good friends.
Son of the late William Sr. and Violet Solarski, he is predeceased by his brothers, William, Donald, Theodore, Edward Solarski, and his brother-in-law, John Bogdan. He was a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, and he will be missed by many.
