Gerry, your sincerity and friendliness are treasures that continue to live in my heart. I miss you.

In 1977, Gerry was our Electrotech math teacher at Vanier College. He told us a few stories from his days at Michigan State University and made the class a fun place to be. We thought it was cool that he drove his motorcycle to school. He motivated me, and I am sure others, to advance their education. I am sorry I never got to thank him for giving so much to us all. I have lost two brothers and know how much it hurts to lose special people.

Though I haven't seen my brother for many years due to health limitations, he was the person I called for a great intelligent conversation and to ask advice. He was so kind and wise, much as his father was. I will miss him very much

A good man, a fine colleague and a very interesting friend, gone way too soon!

tho we weren't blood related. we we're family. you'll always be my uncle gerry, and i'll forever remember your home made root beer & the shark tooth you gave me 20+ years ago, which still lives in my jewel box. You thought me fascinating things...not just math.
i'll never forget you.

I will always remember Gerry as my favourite professor during my years at Vanier College in the 70's who's passion for Calculus was infectious. I was very sad to hear of his passing at such a young age.

Gerry was a great human being, a worthy colleague& an excellent teacher.His former students& colleagues will always remember him very fondly.

Thousands of students benefitted from Gerry's teaching of mathematics for 35 years...especially those of the Electronology Programme. We have lost an excellent teacher and friend.
