Gerald McLaughlin

Dearest McLaughlin family,
I would like to extend our deepest condolences from our family to yours.
"Jake" was a cildhood hero of mine. As a boy I eagerly anticipated those annual summer long weekend forrays into the Waterton back country with the McLaughlin crew. And especially to the mentoring of Gerry, he was a caring, insightful, encouraging and entertaining man.
To this day I remember, very vivdly, many fireside talks we had over 25 years ago. Advice and life lessons for me that were drawn from many entertaning stories from Jake about often mis-guided adventures from his, Don P. and my dad's youth.
I feel very priviledged to have had his influence in my life. I along with you will miss him dearly.
Thanks Jake....

To Sam, Doug and your Families;
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Gerald sounded like a fantastic Dad, husband and friend. I hope you can take comfort in the wonderful memories you have as I know you will miss him greatly. xo

I just want to take a moment to offer my sincere condolences. I am very sorry for your loss. In the short time I knew your family I saw a tremendous group of people. I can only think Gerald was a major influence.

To the McLaughlin family,

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Gerry was my accountant for many years but he was also my friend. I looked forward to our visits and long conversations at tax time. I met Gerry when his office was over Audrey's bookstore. When he moved to the little basement apartment I found it difficult to get there, so Gerry would meet me at Kids in the Hall for lunch. I always enjoyed spending time with him, as he was a very interesting and knowledgable man with a wonderful sense of humor. Gerry gave me great tax advice and always undercharged me. He talked about his family alot and it was obvious how much everyone meant to him. May your memories of Gerry bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Dear Bobby & family,
Our deepest sympathies go out to you all. Gerry was such a friendly, pleasant fellow, and we were glad to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Aunty Bobby, Cassie, Sam, Brinton, Danielle,

I cannot imagine what you are feeling at this time and want to let you know that my heart breaks for your loss. Uncle Gerry was my uncle by "choice" and he was one of the best choices I could have made and am so thankful to have had him a part of my life. His loss will be felt by many and know that he touched so many people and that he was an amazing individual. I always enjoyed our conversations and more over the past number of years as I matured and was always amazed at his incredible knowledge of "life". I am so thankful that I was able to spend the time I did with him before I left on holidays. I thought of him often while I was away. My love and thoughts are with all of you. Jan

Dear Sam and all of the McLaughlin family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Gerry was always so sweet and kind to me. He always had a big smile on his face and was always ready to chat about one thing or another. My thoughts are with you.

To the McLaughlin Family:
My heart goes out to you on the loss of your beloved husband, father and grandpa. It is a year ago today that my dad passed away and I miss him deeply and also trust we will be united with the Lord and all our loved ones in God's Heavenly Home.
Jerry shared his warm spirit of joy, wisdom and inspiring stories with me for many years, and I looked forward to our visits at tax time. He was very caring and I knew without a doubt, how much he loved his family and his life! Starting at his office over on 124 Street, then above Audrey's bookstore and later in the cozy apartment basement, we had much laughter and many precious conversations that I will always cherish. Making sure I was in good hands after he 'retired' from accounting, Jerry passed the 'tax torch' to Jim.
May your family find comfort and strength as you navigate the stormy seas ahead and find rest and peace knowing there are tranquil, sunny days to come. Psalm 23

Gerry will be missed but we hold on tightly to the wonderful memories of fishing, laughing, and telling stories! With love from Hank and Sue Janzen and the kids who loved to fish with Gerry - Chris, Candice and Charise.

Hugs, love and Sunshine with wonderful memories of Jerry.
On The Rocks will save his lunch seat!

Bobby
I know we lost touch with each other in recent years, but I often think of you and Gery with fondness. I will always remember Gery for our interesting conversations,his zest for life and the great person that he was.A real personality.
My very deepest sympathy to you and your family
Yours David Ffoulkes-Jones

Danielle, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of you father. I know how much he meant to you, in so many ways. I'm thankful that Raquel got to know her grandfather, who will live on in her heart. May peace be with you.

Brinton and Jennifer, we are so sorry for your loss and please know that you are in our hearts at this difficult and sad time.

Brinton, so very sorry for the loss of your father. May he rest peacefully and you hold his memories close to your heart. My sincere condolences.

Skipper will be missed so much! He was a huge part of my life growing up and my daughters life out at Pigeon Lake. You are and always will be a part of our family. Our hearts are with you all.

Bobby
I am so sorry for your loss. I want you to know that my prayers and love go out to you at this time.

Dear Brinton,
As a history buff, I'm disappointed that your Dad and I never had a chance to sit down and discuss his favourite subject.
Your Dad accomplished much in his life and leaves a wonderful legacy.
Sincere sympathy,
