GERALD GORDON VAILLANCOURT
1939 — 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce Gerald Vaillancourt born June 10, 1939 who is loved and respected by many passed the night of August 7. His wife of 58 years Ginny was by his side as he departed as were his daughter Candace and Son-in-law Tom. He left the world surrounded by love It is hard to sum up such a great man, loving husband and supportive father in a few words.
A dedicated loving husband to Ginny. Caring gentle father to Linda (Bart), Gordon (Bev), Raymond (Becky) and Candace (Tom). He was blessed with 10 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.
Gerald was a kind and gentle man of few words who exuded compassion with every person he encountered. His wife Ginny was his great love and his best friend. He was the silent strength by her side as she buzzed around with never ending energy. He was the calm that centered her through life’s ups and downs.
Unconditional love with gentle guidance was how he fathered each of us children/grandchildren. Taking the time to get to know each of us as individuals and gently guiding us to grow at our own pace. Developing us as strong independent individuals who were free to be ourselves as we always knew we had the support of this strong man to fall back on.
He liked to be out in nature as much as possible fishing, hunting and rodeos. He developed deep and life long friendships as he was the type of man who always had your back.
We love you and will carry your lessons forward. You have returned to nature the place you love the most. You will be missed.
