In my role as Business Manager at Blakelock I had many opportunities to work with Gerry on department budgets, along with Principals Larry Zavitz and Ed Miazga. Gerry was a dedicated English Department Head, always doing his best to meet the needs of staff and students. His jovial personality , his coaching and his presence will be remembered by so many. RIP .

I joined the staff of Blakelock in 1971 as Assistant head of mathematics spending 24 years there before retiring. During that time I became Head of mathematics and had gpt to know Gerry well as a friend and through the frequent Head´s meetings in particular where his contributions were always made in a firm and friendly manner. I was a frequent visitor to the school after retiring and after Gerry retired we met at least a couple of times a month at his house for a cup of tea and a chat. I learned a lot about his years with Bell and his art work and enjoyed his sense of humor which was never far removed.
Unfortunately for the last couple of years the pandemic intervened and I had moved from Burlington and was no longer driving so we were reduced to sending cards for special occasions. I held the hope that things would improve but it was not to be. I treasure the memories and look forward to the celebration of his life where his sporting achievements will be noted.
