Dear Alma and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Gerry's passing. I was glad to have met him at a couple of events at Michelle's home. I know he will be greatly missed by family and friends. May God be with you Alma.

We offer our sympathy to the entire Peladeau family at this time. I had the pleasure and privilege of knowing Gerry for many years and at one time worked closely with him at Hiram Walker's . In addition we shared many "chats" and I always apprecited his quiet and reserved manner . Undoubtedly his greatest pride and joy in life was his wife,home and above all family .We also spent several social evenings in the company of Michelle and Tom as part of the Credit Union "family" .
I did not see him very often since his retirement but always thought of him in a special way as we passed by their lovely home in South Walkerville .
May God be at your side as you prepare to bid adieu to Gerry .

Dear Mrs. Peladeau and Family,

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the entire Peladeau Family. Mel and John...Our friendship over the years has meant the world to me. Although, we at times might have lost touch, memories of us growing up together during high school and college are still very vivid in my mind. Your father, Gerry, was very much a part of those memories. He was a wonderful and caring man who will be truly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Anna and I will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Alma and Family;
Please accept my deepest sympathy on Mr. Peladeau's passing. If Mel is anything like his father, it is easy to see how deeply Mr. Peladeau will be missed. But how comforting to know that he is now in the care of our heavenly Father, through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. May God continue to bless and comfort you as only He can do.
