I admired Juri’s leadership and cherished our long-term friendship at the former School of Physical and Health Education , University of Toronto. Please accept my deepest sympathy about your loss.
Juri.... Laurie and I wish you and your family only the fondest memories of your Dad as you celebrate his extraordinary life. He has left a legacy of hard work and great accomplishment...and no doubt a family who admire him and will miss him greatly. Please take care of each other. Ross
Juri was the best swim coach I ever had
He was a true gentleman at all times and will be missed by all his students , friends and family.
Our hats off to a real legend at U of T. May his memory live on forever.
