Gerry Coulter

On the top floor of the McGreer building on campus, there is a bookshelf in the hallway, with a sign on it that says simply: "Free". The shelves are filled with used books for donation to students, faculty, or staff at Bishop´s University. Coming out of a meeting with one of my professors, I decided to peruse the shelf, and came across an old copy of Marx´s Grundrisse. At first glance, the book appears to have taken a beating. Doodles in blue ink mark the side pages of the book, and you will...

First we contact on Internet, then we met at Baudrillard Memorial meeting in Paris (2010). I'll remember him as a very gentle,very helpful man with deep sense of humor.

I just learned of Gerry's passing. What a terrible loss. To me, Gerry was "Bernie," my friend, supporter, and mentor back at Queen's University in the late 1980s. Bernie was such an important influence in shaping my outlook, and such a key factor in ensuring my success as a student. I owe so much to Bernie. I am consoled by the fact that Bernie was always able to follow his heart, pursue his passions, develop his intellect, and continue to spread his positive and encouraging magic to so many...

To the family of Gerry Coulter my deepest sympathies for your loss. May the fond memories of your loved one bring comfort while you receive the strength to endure as only God can provide.

Mary Ellen - what a shock to get this news. Such a tremendous loss. My heart goes out to you. In sympathy, Janet

Mary Ellen. I am so sorry to hear of Gerry,s death. Many fond memories of you and Gerry at St. Thomas More College, where it all began for the two of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

What a shock. Gerry was a gentle giant both physically and academically. Vini Mosco and I co-supervised his doctoral thesis at Carleton. My deepest condolences to Mary Ellen, whom I also supervised. They were an incredible pair. He adored her. Gerry was an outstanding researcher, teacher and most of all, human being who has been taken from us much too soon. We have all been enriched by having known him.

Gerry - a great friend, colleague, occasional 'roomy' and golf partner. One of those people that are in the category of 'special' that will always bring a smile and warm memories to the heart.

I am so deeply sorry to learn that Gerry passed away. I taught Gerry and supervised his M.A. at Queen's and co-supervised his Ph.D. at Carleton. I was so proud of his great success as a teacher, scholar, and leader. He was a dear friend who left fond memories for me, Cathy, and our daughters Rosemary and Madeline. My most sincere condolences to Mary Ellen and his family.
