Dear Vera, Dallas, Celeste, Aunt Jean and Sheila, We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Gerry's passing. We are unable to attend the celebration of Gerry's life, but we will be thinking of the shared times of laughter and fun with smiles on our faces and fondness in our hearts. Always when we see an episode of Corner Gas we smile and think about Gerry phoning us and sending us on an errand to go pick up some Corner Gas memorabilia... and we know as time passes more and more smiles will come. Brian and Marilyn

Dear Vera, Dallas and Celeste, Aunt Jean and Sheila. I am so sorry to learn of Gerald's recent passing. I will always remember his smile, his laugh and the twinkle in his eyes. When I moved to Calgary he took me to a couple Stampeder football games, a few hockey games, helped me move apartments more than once, and made sure I had a ride to family events. Gerald was very much was the big brother I don't have. He will be missed by his cousins! Janice and Bob

It was with shock and great saddness that I learned of Gerald's passing. As an older cousin Gerald introduced me to many of the wonders of growing up. Most remembered was Elvis' - Blue Suede Shoes. I will always remember him for his quiet humour. Our sincere sympathies to you, Vera and family.
