Gerald DENDEKKER Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Gerald at the age of 62 on November 2, 2022. Beloved husband of Karen. Proud and devoted father of Ashley (Chris), Arie (Denisa), and Meghan (Michael). Cherished brother of Nelli (Bob), Grace (Rick), Jane, Bart, Theresa (Ron), Harry and their families. Dearest son of parents Pietertje (Nelli) and Arie Dendekker (predeceased), and son-in-law to Valerie and Fernand Gaudet (predeceased). Gerald will be sadly missed as a husband, father, brother, son, uncle and friend. He loved each of you dearly, and we hope your memories with him will last forever.
Gerry had a heart of gold and loved to share his unforgettable stories and wisdom with his loved ones. He lived an adventurous life and found peace in the woods or on the lake with a fishing rod in his hand. He was a hard worker and loved gathering with his family to watch the Eagles, "Fly Eagles Fly."
Please join us for the visitation service on Wednesday, November 9th between 4-8 p.m. at Bay Gardens on Rymal Rd, Hamilton.

My sincere condolences to the entire dendekker family. I haven't seen Gerald in sometime however it did not make the shock of his passing any easier. Gerald was a a big brother to all of us when we were growing up he taught us how to do the right thing no matter what the subject was. He also was always there to share advice and wisdom. He will be greatly missed.

In every interaction with Gerry that I can remember while I was a young man, he always went out of his way to complement me and build me up. He wanted me to know I was special. That will be my lasting memory of him that I'll always carry with me.
