Gerry was predeceased by his father, Clifford; his mother, Dorothy; sister, Mona; step-father, Wellington Kolman; his grandparents, Edward and Christina Westcott and Walter and Mathilda Turner; as well as mother and father-in-law, Don and Signe Maki.

Gerry was a hard worker; he began in the oil patch in Estevan, Saskatchewan, drove long haul truck, worked with the Department of Highways, operated a grocery store and butcher shop. The family moved to Lynn Lake, Manitoba in 1969 where he worked in the mine. In 1975, the family came to Medicine Hat, where Gerry worked as a millwright at the chemical plants. His last employment was with the Department of National Defence where he drove bus until he was forced to retire due to illness. At this time he began a long and arduous battle with Crohn’s disease. His determination and stubbornness were truly amazing. He enjoyed fishing, golf and hunting.

“Although I can no longer see you with my eyes, or touch you with my hands, I will feel you in my heart forever”
