Shortly after getting married, Gerhard left the bank and was hired by the Town of Battleford as a Police Constable. In 1964, Gerhard resigned and moved the family back to Winnipeg where he was hired by the Winnipeg Police Department as a Police Constable.

Deepest condolences to the family. I knew George for the years when we were members of the Winnipeg Police Department. George was always willing to help even to tasks off the job. He had a kind heart and a strong work ethic. Always sad to see a workmate pass on. - Posted by: Blake Dunn (Friends) on: May 31, 2019
