Craig, Maureen and all of Gerry's family,
We are so sorry to hear of Gerry's passing. Long after Craig and Maureen moved west, we were always so happy to meet Gerry on the street and catch up. A nice guy that we will miss. Sincerely, Kathy and Ink

Gerry was our neighbour and friend. He was ready with a conversation and a laugh. We shared some hockey nights and an occasional breakfast at the neighbourhood coffee shop. Gerry liked to pass along his books when he was finished with them. He was kind and thoughtful and liked by his neighbours. His smiling face will be missed and remembered.
