I worked with Gerry at WHC. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. Gerry always had a smile on his face and an infectious laugh. We always had fun laughing and joking around. I will miss you. Rest in peace my friend.

I first met Gerry when he walked into our office for an interview, oh so many years ago. I was advised by one of his former employers " we wish we could keep Gerry, you will not regret it if you hire him". Well, the rest is history and we never regretted hiring Gerry to join our team.
Gerry became like family to both his colleagues and our clients. Gerry became our "go to person" whereby his many skills were greatly appreciated by everyone he worked with or for.
We are deeply shocked and saddened of Gerry´s passing. Our hearts and thoughts go out to his beloved family & cherished friends.
Gerry had a smile for everyone, he was kind and helpful to all. Memories are now ours to treasure forever.
Rest in peace my friend.

My first memory of Gerry was back in 2010 working for Windsor Home Cleaning. I knew Gerry as a fellow employee and later as a client. Gerry always had a huge smile for everyone, he was always positive and passionate in everything he did, performing all his tasks to the best of his abilities which was perfection in my mind. He was just a great person to be around. My last interaction with Gerry was over the phone on probably the coldest day of this past winter...Gerry had arrived at my house to prepare it "for sale" only to find my house was absolutely freezing. Through his shivering, which I could hear in his voice, he was bound and determined to find the cause, which he did so all I had to do was call my HVAC Company and all was repaired and working by the end of the day. He didn't have to do that, but he did - this was the man I am talking about. My deepest condolences to his very large family, his friends, his fellow workers at WHC and all who had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful man - GONE TOO SOON.
