Winnipeggers are mourning the death of a former Winnipeg Blue Bombers employee and community volunteer.
Jerry Maslowsky, CEO at Variety, the Children’s Charity of Manitoba and former Bombers volunteer turned sales and marketing vice-president, died Saturday night after battling cancer. He was 58.
A tweet sent by his daughter, Tara, on Sunday noted it was a "very short battle with cancer."

As the team took the field in Regina Sunday afternoon for its Labour Day Classic battle against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, players paid tribute to Maslowsky by adorning their helmets with stickers bearing his initials.
Maslowsky was hired in the Bombers’ sales and marketing department in 2000 after volunteering during the 1999 Pan American Games. He remained with the club for 14 years, leaving to head up Variety in 2014.
According to Tara, a celebration of life for Jerry Maslowsky will be occurring Thursday at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
