ACLAND, Gerald Richard
1941 – 2024
Gerald Richard Acland of Haileybury, Ontario passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Monday, January 15, 2024.
Dad will be missed by his children Sherry (Norman), David (Nancy), Lori (Daniel), Steven (Starla) and Debbie (Jason).
Grandpa, Papa, to his grandchildren Christopher, Dana (Eric), Anne, Erin (Kris), Alex (Hillary), Caleb (Ashley), Jonathan, Sierra, Abigail, Zachary, and Felicity (Riley), Nicholas. He was also Grandpa G to his great-children Zoe, Elleigh, Charlotte, Lennox, Andie, Gabriel, Ivy, Alaric, Parker, Elena. His eyes always lit up when he got to meet a new member of the family.
Gerald was born on May 24, 1941 to Robert and Myrtle Acland (predeceased). Gerald married into the van Vliet family on June 16, 1962 and was predeceased by his wife Francina in 2011. He was predeceased by his parent-in-laws Teunis and Maria van Vliet.
He was predeceased by his brother Allan, brother-in-laws Gerald, Simon and Larry.
He is survived by his brother Keith (Janice), and sisters Marilyn and Thelma (Verner), in-laws Anna (George), Hank (Samantha), Leo, Susan, Tony (Nadine), Paul, Harry (Brenda) and Geraldine (Ken).
Gerald started his natural gas career in Sudbury in 1964 with Northern Ontario Natural Gas and retired in 1999 from Union Gas when offered early retirement. He started doing woodworking and created some great pieces that he loved to give away. He was also an avid fisherman and casual hunter. He spent a lot of time on Lake Temiskaming catching his limits. In his later years he took up painting by numbers, but always made the pictures his own. Many of these he framed and gave away to the family and we are enjoying them on the walls in our homes. When he was no longer able to paint, he took up puzzling and when he completed a puzzle he would hand it off to someone else.
Right to the end dad’s craziness, his smile and giggles lit up the room. We will definitely miss his amazing sense of humour. Dad has now been reunited with the love of his life. Those remaining will miss him immensely.
The family would like to thank Dr. Pretty and all the doctors, nurses and staff who cared for dad in his final days. Dad was so appreciative of the care the nurses and doctors provided, including all the hugs he received from them.
In keeping with dad’s wishes, there will not be a funeral; however, we will be hosting a celebration of life at a later date.
If desired, donations in memory of Gerald can be made to the Community Cancer Care unit at the Temiskaming Hospital or the New Liskeard Salvation Army.
Those we love can never be more than a thought away, for as long as there’s a memory, they live in our hearts to stay.
