LESINSKI - Jerome Carl

December 5, 1947 - August 2, 2026

Of Lakeview, NY. Beloved companion of Marguerite M. Malik; father of Nicole M. Lesinski and Mark C. (Brooke) Lesinski; grandfather of Haven M. Lesinski; son of the late Harry S. and Charlotte J. (Zoladz) Lesinski; eldest brother of Katherine M. (Craig) Roth, Christine J. (Thom) Pieczonka, and the late James D. Lesinski; also survived by nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. Following his graduation from Bishop Timon High School, Jerry earned his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Buffalo and his Master’s Degree from Buffalo State College. He then dedicated 33 years as a history (and driver’s education) teacher in the West Seneca Central School District. As a man with a witty sense of humor, many former students and colleagues remember him best for his “joke of the week” contest in his classroom. An avid fisherman and hunter, Jerry truly enjoyed time outdoors. He actively participated in his community throughout the years by serving as the president of the West Seneca Central Employees Federal Credit Union, the president of the Maple Springs Association, and a board member of the Southtowns Walleye Association. No prior visitation. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the West Seneca Teachers’ Association Scholarship Fund.
