One person wrote: “We are all so blessed to have known you.” There will be a memorial mass for Boris Cherkassky on Friday, September 23 at St. Anselm Parish at 9 a.m. St. Anselm is at 1 Macnaughton Rd., Leaside.
Memorial created by school kids, loaded with condolence messages for Boris.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Boris. I am a senior living in Leaside, and have had many interesting conversations with him over the years when I was walking my dog. He was a wonderful man, who always put the safety and care of the children first. He will be missed by everyone in our community.
