It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Gerald "Gerry" Dorge on January 13, 2025, at the age of 80.
Gerry is survived by his wife of 57 years, Raymonde; children, Stéphane (Aileen) and Lisa (Larry); grandchildren, Alix (Mercedes), Samuel, Caleb, and Sonia; siblings, Claudette, Claire (Emile), and Robert.
Raised in Ste. Agathe, Gerry developed his love of the country working on the farm. After moving to Winnipeg, he met the love of his life, Raymonde, who never left his side, through joys, transitions in business and illness.
Gerry was an entrepreneur in the true sense of the word, involved in many businesses including Country Kitchen restaurants and Canadian Publishers. Hautement engagé envers la communauté francophone, il a siégé au mouvement des Caisses, a agi comme rédacteur en chef pour La Liberté et a occupé le poste de DG pour Entreprises Riel. Gerry’s greatest sense of pride was for the long-lasting business and personal relationships he built over the years.
His love of people was matched by his love of nature, marrying both at Light of the Prairies. Mais son coeur appartiendra toujours au lieu de naissance de sa mère, St. Lupicin, où il a passé de nombreux étés avec sa famille sur la propriété familiale des Prince. There, Gerry was in his happy place, riding the tractor, carefully reading every article of the weekend newspapers. We will miss his spirit, the stories about family and friends and his love for us all. Cher Gerry, que l’au-delà t’accueille avec l’amour et la tendresse que tu mérites. Intercède pour tous ceux et celles à qui tu manqueras énormément.
Special thanks to the staff of Riverview Health Centre for their unwavering kindness and compassion during Gerry’s final days.
Celebration of Life will be at 11:00 a.m. February 1, 2025 at Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens hall, 289 Dussault Ave.
