It is with great sorrow that we must announce that our father and husband, Gerry Iliffe, passed away on June 5, 2024, in Gimli, MB.
He leaves behind his loving wife Nancy of more than 30 years, his sister Angie and his four children: Melanie Nitychoruk (Adam), Roger Iliffe (Ildiko), Tracy Iliffe (Mike), Emma Lee (Rob); stepchildren: Jenny Eaglesham (Jeff) and Scott Eaglesham (Isabella), along with numerous grandchildren.
A quiet service will be held for family and close friends.
Gerry was born on January 3, 1943, in Woking, Surrey to Ruth and Cedric Iliffe. He went to high school at Cheltenham College boarding school where he built a lifelong love of learning, music and sports. He went on to successfully complete medical school at St. Andrew’s University in Scotland eventually becoming a consultant in gastroenterology and moving to Winnipeg in 1974. He served as a physician at the Health Sciences Centre for over 30 years before retiring to Gimli. He is remembered fondly as a physician who was known for his diagnostic abilities and the care he took of all his patients.
Gerry met his wife Nancy in 1984 and they married in 1992. They have been inseparable ever since and were both delighted to be living on the lakefront in Gimli. Gerry was a talented musician and wonderful singer who was an accomplished guitarist and pianist. He had a deep and wide-ranging love of sports. In his youth he was an excellent miler and swimmer and later on in life he would compete at squash, tennis, sailing, golf and finally curling. Like his father Cedric before him, Gerry loved singing in church and his bass voice left a lasting impression for its spiritual qualities.
Gerry will be missed most for his playful sense of humour and day to day charm. A true Englishman in Gimli.
