It is a sad day for all fastball fans with the news that legendary pitcher Metro Szeryk passed away earlier this week, in London, Ontario.
With deep love and gratitude for a life well-lived, the family of Metro Szeryk announces his peaceful passing on July 26, 2025. A devoted husband, proud father and grandfather, and a celebrated figure in the world of fast-pitch softball, Metro lived with integrity, a competitive spirit, and a gregarious nature that left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Metro shared over 63 loving years with his wife Carol Jean Szeryk (née Pandke). Together, they raised sons Scott (Karen) and Neil (Karen), and later proudly watched their granddaughters Maddie (Nick) and Ellie (Martin) grow—moments that filled his heart with pride. He cherished his time on the pitching mound (inducted into the ASA National Softball Hall of Fame, Windsor Fastpitch Softball Hall of Fame and the Connecticut ASA Fast Pitch Hall of Fame), as well as his time playing cribbage with his brother in law Eric Pandke (Cindy).
A celebration of his life will be held on August 29, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at St. George's Parish, 1164 Commissioners Rd. W., London. Reception to follow. Private family burial afterwards.
We would like to thank all of the 2nd floor staff at McCormick Home, who lovingly took care of him during the last year of his life. If you would like to donate in his name, please consider the McCormick Care Foundation. Online condolences maybe be shared by visiting www.westviewfuneralchapel.com
