Gerald Gorn
Gerald Joseph Gorn passed away peacefully in his sleep while watching hockey on November 29th, 2023 in Ottawa, Canada. Gerry was the beloved son of William and Fay Gorn nee Cohen, younger brother to Edward Gorn, father to Michael Gorn and his wife Tammy Gorn, Peter Gorn and his wife Toni Gorn, and abuelo to Jordan, Jada, and Noah Gorn, and little grandpa to Mia and Jacob Gorn. Gerry was the proud parent of his boys, often reminding them that they were the “greatest joys of his life”. Gerry was also a proud member, along with his childhood friends, of the Old Farts Club.
Raised in Montreal, surrounded by close family and dear friends, he pursued a distinguished academic career that took him from his home town to the far reaches of the world, where he could be found enthusiastically working between his much loved naps. His journeys usually involved teaching, research, and university administration. Gerry could always be counted on when it came to giving sound advice to the many Deans who sought his opinion. After a stint at McGill University, Gerry taught at UBC, followed by a 20+ year career at universities in Hong Kong. He used to say that doing research was like playing with his toys as a young boy. Gerry truly enjoyed working with all his colleagues in academia around the world. Despite all his distinguished accomplishments, he remained modest, kind and always supportive of his family and friends.
These past almost five years were especially challenging for Gerry. Fortunately, he was well-cared for by his wing-man Gord McCallum. Gord, who possesses endless amounts of energy, kindness and empathy, ensured that Gerry was safe, secure and comfortable. He enjoyed his remaining years spending time with his sons, grandchildren and brother. He passed away at home, per his wishes, after a marvelous and fascinating life. Graveside service on Monday, December 4 at 10:00 a.m. at the Hebrew Sick Benefit Association Cemetery, de la Savane. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his honor to The Dementia Society of Ottawa, dementiahelp.ca.
