Jerry passed in the care of the George Dumont Hospital,
Moncton on August 18th. In his last days he was
surrounded by the love of his wife of 44 years Marti, daughters Sarah
and Cynthia, son in law JP and grandchildren Liam and
Keira.
Jerry the eldest of 12 was born in Bonavista Newfoundland
moving to Toronto at the age of 18. It is there he met and married
Marti raising their girls across Canada while working as an accountant
for CN (Canadian National). Jerry was a Newfoundlander at heart, with
his love of fishing, good music and drink. If there was one fish to be
found in a lake, river or pond Jerry would find it (with his secret
grasshopper bait). There was not a Newfie joke that Jerry did not know
and was happy to share with whomever would listen. His sense of humour
and willingness to help out anyone in need is part of the legacy he
has left to his girls and grandchildren.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff
at the George Dumont for their care of Jerry these past months. May
Jerry rest in peace and on the unchanging grace of God.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Monday August
22nd at 2:00 pm at Ferguson Funeral Home
Chapel, Moncton NB.
