It is with great sadness that Mike and I received word that your Dad had passed. Your Dad and Mom were like a second family to Mike, Sue and me. We have so many wonderful memories of the best neighbours anyone could ever have for over fifty years. We will never forget your kind, fun loving father.

— Brian Kreissl, June 3, 2022Very sorry to hear of uncle Gerry's passing,remembering him as a fun loving man (cucumber sandwiches) always welcoming and very kind. Regret because of distance not seeing him and his family more often. Condolences
— Sharon Marcel and Family, June 3, 2022My sincerest condolences to your family. Known as grumpy, his spirit lives on through the lives he touched and inspired. Never having the pleasure to meet this angel, hearing his voice on the phone daily when he would call Janine and Jakie was a cherished celebration by all. His voice would light up the room and make you feel supported. I am here in any capacity to support through every step and chapter of your lives. I love you all <3

— Amelia Golden, June 1, 2022Lori, Janine and Families,
I have so many great memories of visiting your parents during the summers with my mom and dad. Uncle Gerry loved to tease and I just adored him💕. He had a constant twinkle in his eye and a mischievous smile on his lips. He loved telling a good story and boy was he a very entertaining raconteur! Hugs to all of you. Keep your memories of him close and may they bring you comfort during this difficult time. Cousin Tamara
To Lori and all of Gerry’s family,
I’m very sorry to hear of Gerry’s passing. He was a very friendly man.
I know he was well taken care of and loved so much. What a joy it must have been to him to be cared for 24-7 by a loving daughter for as long as possible. Wishing you all peace and strength.
Love Virginia
