Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Gerald (Jerry) Ralph O’Keefe announce his passing on October 3rd. 2023.
Jerry was a long time Union activist, working with CB Pulp & Paper Mill, a job he held for 41 years. He held positions as an electrician and Instrumentation Technician. This work and his ever-present curiosity gave him skills and knowledge that he constantly employed to help innumerable people and organizations through the years. Whether setting up communications for sporting events, working on computer systems for friends, or just putting his 2 cents worth in to help solve a problem, he could always be counted on to lend a helping hand.His interests were varied. From hockey to hunting, from ham radio to history, he delved into many fields with a thirst to learn and help others in these fields.
Anybody who knew Jerry knew his greatest interest was talking to people. He could talk to paupers and princes and relate to them all. He listened to whatever you said with an attentiveness that made you feel you were his number one concern at that moment. Everybody felt comfortable letting him into their confidences.
Jerry will be sadly missed by his wife, Elaine and his children Eddie (Theresa), Joan, Scott (Allyssa), and Krista (Corey). He leaves his much-adored grandchildren Laurance, Elizabeth (Nathan), Xavier, and Lucas. He enjoyed immensely his great grandchildren Sarah and Andre. He is also survived by his siblings Linda (Ray), Diane (Lenny), Sheila (Gary), Maureen (Paul), Brian (Maxine), Carol Ann (Tony), and Bill.
He will also be missed by his In Laws – Linda Vincent (Mother-in-Law), Ron (Joyce), Vincent (Brother-in-Law), and Sisters in law Wanda (Clarence) Buckle and Sherry (Derek) Holwell. He cherished his fur grand babies Angus, Lucy, Jack, and Yoda as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews friends and extended family.
He was predeceased by his parents, Gerald and Florence O’Keefe and Father-in-Law, Herbert Vincent.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Glynmill Inn on Saturday October 7th from 2 – 4 pm.
