1945-2021
Gerald J. McCrossin passed away at his residence in St

family.
Born in St Stephen, NB, son of the late Roy and Eva
McCrossin.
Gerald graduated from St Stephen High School in 1965 and then
attended the Moncton Institute of Technology.
He pursued several « careers » before
becoming the « Disorderly Orderly » at Charlotte
County Hospital, he was most efficient at his job while entertaining
both the staff and patients! Gerald owned and managed Doherty
Jewellers before embarking on his 35 years as a
« renowned » Customs Inspector!
He followed his Catholic faith from the cradle to his final
moments and it seemed to strengthen with every passing
day.
Gerald cherished his children, Chris, and Karla, he was an
immensely proud Dad indeed. His long-awaited grandson Mason delighted
him everyday in everyway! He also treasured our abundance of truly
special friends.
He had a great passion for music, singing and dancing (and
could he ever.). He was always up for fun, but he was even better at
creating the FUN! Tales of his crazy antics travelled across our
nation and beyond!
Gerald’s missions in life were unconditional love
for his family, keeping his door wide open to everyone- « stay
a night, a few weeks or maybe move right in! » the door was
always swinging, phone always ringing and his laughter
resounding.
Gerald is survived by his loving wife, Sandra (Weatherby),
children, Christopher (Kelly) and Karla (Peter), grandchildren, Mason
« Masonator » Noddin-McCrossin, and Evan Noddin
(Andrene), special « grandchildren », Ty and Kali,
brothers: Jim, Burton, and John McCrossin, many nieces and nephews and
« adoptees ».
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by infant son,
Kevin Daniel (1973), sisters: Mary Ellen Hamilton, Theresa McCrossin,
Ann Watters, and his brother, Arthur Connick.
