Prior to retirement, Gerald worked with St. George Pulp and Paper for
many years. In his teens, Gerald served his country and enrolled with
the Royal Canadian Army. He was enlisted from 1948-1956 and was once
stationed in Germany. An avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting and
fishing and enjoyed getting out in his kayak. Though he will be missed
greatly by his family, we know he is right where he wants to be, back
beside his beloved wife, Stella.
