Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • I will miss our conversations and discussions on different subjects . Gerald, or Gerry as we all called him, always had an opinion and would always state his opinion which was always right! He was a very diverse character and was we'l read. He would often tell a person he didn't know what he was talking about or he would say he was an idiot! Loved the way he used to say you should do some reading and then you would know what you're talking about! Will miss you buddy! - Posted by: Rene Foubert (Friend ) on: Feb 24, 2015

  • I first met Gerry in Whitemouth hotel. I was talking about hunting and camping. Someone questions what I had said and Gerry says "he's right you guys are a bunch of idiots!" From then on Gerry and I always would talk about the world's problems and the wild adventures we had over the years! And Gerry had lots from living in the USA and guiding up north to teaching at the University of Winnipeg! I will miss our conversations old buddy!!! You will always be remembered by me as a bright conversationalist! - Posted by: Rene Foubert (Friend and outdoors buddy !) on: Feb 24, 2015

  • My deepest condolences to Charles, Verna and children on the loss of your brother and uncle. Jerry was an intelligent man, one who could turn his hand to many tasks. I know you will miss him deeply. - Posted by: Carol Ans (former neighbour) on: Feb 21, 2015
