  • We always enjoyed Uncle Gerry's sense of humour coupled with his quick wit that brought smiles to many a face throughout his life. I always enjoyed discussions with Gerry about business matters and how honesty was always integral with one's efforts - Granddad Baker was so proud of my Uncle. With Joan, his best life selection, they brought my favorite cousins into the world. Their kindness, consideration and work ethic is a legacy to Gerry and Joan's guideance and family devotion.

It has been a real struggle for Gerry, Joan and the family over the past few years. Joan you are one of the most faithful, loyal, and hard working ladies I know.
