Donna & I cannot tell how sorrowful we feel at the passing of our 40 year doctor but more importantly, our dear friend. I actually looked forward to my visits with Jerry, waiting for him to give me heck for one thing or another as he cared so much about my/our health. After my check ups, we would go back into his office and talk sports and food etc. We will truly miss you Jerry but thank you for such great memories.

Dr.Shklar was my physician since I first arrived in Toronto 40 years ago and he saw me through all the possible medical issues one usually experiences in that time span. Through it all he was kind, compassionate and wise. He was more than simply my doctor - he was like an extended member of my family. I was miss him very much. My deepest condolences.

Dearest Alla and the Shklar family, I was just informed of the Drs' passing and finding myself without words to say. What an amazing man he was. My late father thought of him as a God for all he did for him. I on the other hand never felt alone because he was always so informed and followed everything. All that is left is to send all my love to you, Alla and family and as you know 'Jerry' will always be loved and remembered by all. Forever in our hearts, Joyce Scott and family

Dear Shklar Family,
My deepest condolences for your loss. I just found out today of the devastating news. Dr. Shklar was not only our family physician, but also considered a part of our family. My late father, Steve, considered him a very good friend. Dr. Shklar was a pillar of strength during many moments of my family's life. Dr. Shklar was always a source of comfort, knowledge and support to all of us. He was there for many of my family's good times and bad. May you find comfort and peace with the memories you have of him. May his memory be eternal. God rest his soul.
With saddened hearts,
The Anagnostopoulos Family

Shklar Family
I am so saddened at the passing of Dr.Shklar. He was my family
physician for many years and in my opinion the best Dr ever
and I highly doubt there will be another like him. Funny,
knowledgeable and just a warm fabulous caring man!
My deepest deepest sympathies.

Sasha, my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the shocking passing of your dad. He was the best doctor that I've had and was always able to put my mind at ease on any ailment on which I consulted him. His ready smile and joke were always appreciated. I will certainly miss his excellent advice.

August 22, 2017

A sweet man - patient, gentle, kind and FUNNY. Brave too: he had his issues and had empathy for those traveling a tough path.We shall miss him desperately after 38 years of care and guidance. I wish I had hugged you the last time I was in. I wanted to but felt it might be overfamiliar and embarass you. Silly me. But now you know all things, and you know how much you were loved and respected. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Fiona
