Gerald’s Obituary
Robert Gerald Connolley, long-time resident of Berwyn (AB), passed away on November 28th, 2022 at Grimshaw Long Term Care, at the age of 80 years. Gerald Connolley was born in Peace River (AB) on October 23rd, 1942.
Gerald’s heart was in his farming and garden; he was always busy in his retirement years keeping every weed at bay! He also kept idle hands at bay: chopping and splitting wood for the winter or looking after the bunnies he and Angie raised; he’d remove snow for whoever needed help. As a young family man, he worked for Firestone in Edmonton (AB) for many years before moving his family to Berwyn where he started his gravel trucking company.
His motorcycles were (by far!) the thing he loved most in life. He started in his 20’s and never stopped! He built his own trike-which he rode most everywhere. In 2009, he became the proud owner of his Harley Davidson Trike. You could hear him coming and going on that beauty as soon as the snow was gone! He took many motorcycle trips with his buddies and family.
Gerald is predeceased by Robert Connolley (Father), Danny Connolley (Son) & Nettie Connolley (Mother).
He is survived by Angelina Connolley (Wife), Debbie Connolley (Daughter), Jolene Connolley (Granddaughter), Emmett & Wren (Great grandchildren), Cassidy Connolley (Granddaughter), Patricia Roadhouse (Sister), Dianne Connolley (Sister) and Jim Connolley (Brother).
Funeral Service for the late Gerald Connolley will be held December 9th, 2022, at 1:00 pm in the Agricultural Hall (Old Legion Hall) in Berwyn, AB. with Roland Schlenker officiating.
Interment at the Berwyn Cemetery with a time of fellowship at the Agriculture Hall (Old Legion Hall) to follow.
