With sadness, Gerry's family announces that he passed away peacefully at home on May 23, 2022 at the age of 76. Gerry was the much loved husband of 50+ years of the late Donna (nee Wilkie).

He is predeceased by his parents Delbert and Pearl Rose of Haley Station.
Gerry's Military Service began at age 16 and spanned 24+ years, with postings to:
RC Sigs, Vimy Barracks - 5 Sqdn E-38,(Soldier Apprentice as a 16-year old) (1962-64)

He spent the following 26 years working with the Civil Service (DSS, PWGSC) in Ottawa-Hull, retiring on Dec 28, 2013. He and Donna enjoyed spending time together, visiting with their children and grandchildren and making the odd "tour to Ottawa".
