Gerry was a wonderful neighbour and friend. He helped us clear the snow, and made ski trails for us in the fields and woods nearby. Always had a smile, ready for a chat, he had lots of stories to tell. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to Steve, Linda and Judy and their families.
Very sorry to hear of Gerry’s passing. My condolences to the whole family. I’ll always have fond memories of Gerry, as I do of Joan.
