Joseph ROSE Obituary

ROSE, Joseph Phillip Gerald "Gerry" Passed away peacefully on October 18, 2019 surrounded by love. Our dad was born in Little Bras d'Or to Marie and Aloysius Rose on March 30, 1937 and raised in Baddeck, NS. He Left home at a young age to join the Canadian Armed Forces, turning it into a forty-year career. He called many places home over the years and Peterborough for the last twenty five of those. He is survived by his loving wife Carol, beloved daughters Sheri Apa (Vito), Sheila McLaughlin (Eric) and Michelle. Proud grandfather to Marra, Michael, Abigail, Anthony, Erin, Isabel, Peter and Brenna. Loving brother to Mary Nicholson (Allister) and Jacquie Gauthier (Daryl), they always made sure he had a home to go to. Predeceased by his brothers Michael, Donny, Raymond, and Adrian and his sister Margaret. He is survived by many in-laws, nieces, and nephews, and friends from far and wide. He was a man of few words, unless prompted. He was our Google before it was invented. He was a gentle man and a gentleman. He loved and was loved, not much more a man could ask for. Our family would like to thank Dr. Mark Greiner and Michelle Swedenski RN, Lisa from Westjet, the emergency room staff at Etobicoke General and the ICU at Toronto General. Your kindness and compassion won't be forgotten. If you wish, donations for sick kids hospital or the Trent University Nursing Brigade (https://mycommunity.trentu.ca/nursingbrigadegive) in Gerry's name would be appreciated.
