Jack Vesiloik Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Edward J. Ryan & Son Funeral Home - Syracuse on Mar. 19, 2026.
Jack Vesiloik passed away peacefully on March 18, 2026, at the age of 89. He was born in Tallinn, Estonia. As a child he endured many hardships of WWII, eventually immigrating to the United States from Germany with his grandmother and aunt in 1950, settling in Syracuse, NY. He worked for over 40 years at Crouse-Hinds (Eaton Corporation) as an industrial lighting assembler and forklift operator. Known for his gentle, giving soul, he worked tirelessly to provide for his family and faced every challenge with quiet strength. Love of family and friends were most important to him. He also loved sports cars and muscle cars (especially his dream car Corvette) and in his younger retirement years working out at the gym was a true passion.

Jack is survived by his daughters, Linda (Gordon) Harrington, and Tina Vesiloik.

As per Jack's request, no services will be held. The family appreciates your love and support. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him
