Jorge Gabriel Bouch

Jorge was the loving husband and best friend to his wife of 30 years, Susan Guinn. He will be dearly missed by his daughters Ana Bouch and Kat Bouch, his grandsons Kain and Quinton Chavez, his sister-in-law Nancy Brucas and her husband Al, nephews Tristan and Aidan Brucas as well as extended family in Canada, Chile and Brazil.

Jorge was born in Santiago, Chile in 1937 and moved to Canada in 1975. Following a long career at the Toronto Zoo, Jorge retired and began a successful business crafting beautiful leather accessories.

Jorge was loyal and generous to those he loved. He will be remembered for his laughter and his enthusiasm for life, but most for his deep core of kindness. In recent years he spent much of his time on his bike or working in his garden.

A celebration of Jorge's life will be announced at a later date.

The family encourages everyone to remember Jorge by listening to Gracias a la Vida by Violeta Parra. “Thanks to life, which has given me so much”
