It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of John Reginald Gerrior, beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother. Affectionately known as Reg, he was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, and later moved to Halifax. Eventually Reg would find himself under the Alberta skies.
Reg was predeceased by his father John and his mother Beatrice. Reg is also
predeceased by his sisters Marie and Verna, and brothers Bill and Tom. Reg is survived by his wife of 48 years Barbara, AB, son Michael, AB, son Darren, NS, granddaughter Mikyla, AB, brother Herman (Avis), sister Delores (Mike) all of BC, sister Theresa (Don) NS, Evelyn (Michael) NS, and many nieces and nephews.
Early in life Reg would leave Sydney and move to Halifax with his parents. His father would operate a shoe repair business and Reg would learn the trade. It was in Halifax that Reg found his love of music. Reg would also find his other love, Barbara, first meeting at the Fireman’s Club dance in 1976, remaining side by side for the next 48 years.
Before duct tape was readily available and people still didn’t realize you could paint a car with a roller, Reg found a way to make things work. From a $50 car to a broken fishing rod, Reg found a way to go fishing when visiting Mulgrave, and for Barbra to go cruising down the highway in style.
Reg taught himself to play guitar and began to accompany his father and friends on the violins. From there he would become a local legend, being featured on 2 TV broadcast and playing with many well-known artists, including Bobby Curlola. House parties would be turned up a notchonce a guitar made its way into Reg’s hands. Prior to his passing the process of getting Reg inducted into the Nova Scotia Music Hall of Fame was underway, regardless, Reg’s positive music vibes and a grin that stretched ear to ear will live on in our hearts and minds until we see him again.
A celebration of life will take place at a later date in Nova Scotia with immediate family and friends.
