    We were so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing please accept our condolences. He will be sadly missed by Albert and his three ladies on a Sunday morning. It was alway`s so nice to see his smiling face, and his little pokes at Albert and “his girls”. Our prayers go with you and your family.

    Sincerely Albert and Sheena Selina.

    Robyn;
    My thoughts are with you. It was nice to hear (the last time we spoke) that Gerry was living life to the fullest!!
    My fondest memory is still: Gerry in-tow carrying Grace’s purse during a tour of Jordans. As you correctly pointed out; this was a symbol of his devotion to Grace rather than servitude!!!

    Regards,
    Ken

    Sincere condolences to the family on Gerry’s death. I primarily knew Gerry through PROBUS, but my husband Les worked with Gerry in educational finance on many projects. They were also active members of the coffee club. Gerry and Grace re-introduced us to bridge several years ago. I miss them both. Mary Canty.
