Gerard Hol

January 14, 1935 - May 24, 2023

Gerry Hol sadly took his final breath this past May. He lived a life full of adventure for 88 years. He is predeceased by his parents and two sisters. Born in denHague, Netherlands, he and his family proudly became Canadian when he was 15. Throughout his life, Gerry was focused on making the world a better, more beautiful place. His talents and skills were utilized in many ways, but designing, building, renovating, reconstructing and improving on existing construction was his forte. In his later years, he also turned to furniture design and creation. His talents for writing resulted in the published "Smokey" book, as well as many stories, poems and speeches.
During his last weeks, his family had the opportunity to say their goodbyes and to share many treasured memories. His final words were to Lynda (nee McConnell), his beloved wife of 66 years. His six children and their partners, fourteen grandchildren and their partners, and nine great-grandchildren brought him much joy as he took everyone on terrific adventures. His smiles, sense of adventure and mischief will be missed.
