Obituary of Gerald Joseph Rodrigue
RODRIGUE
On July 1, 2023, Gerald Joseph Rodrigue at the age of 88, passed away in his sleep in the comfort of his home with his wife Priscilla (Begin) at his side. The family gathered the next morning to say their final good byes.
He will be missed by his daughter Connie (Rob) Schnekenburger, predeceased by his daughter Jacqueline (Glen) Clayworth, and son Serge (Darlene) Rodrigue. He will also be missed by his five grandchildren whom he treasured Cassandra (Keith), Ty, Cole, Nadia, Clay and great grandsons Brexton and Britton. He was also survived by his only sister Veronique (Ben) Goudreau and her family and Priscilla’s large family The Begins.
Gerry was a proud husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. His family meant the world to him. Gerry was fortunate to have meet Priscilla at a very young age as they were neighbours in Quebec. At the age of 16 he enlisted in the military and was sent to serve in the Korean War. When Gerry returned to Canada he visited his childhood home where he was reunited with Priscilla and were together for over 61 years. Gerry was involved in the community. Many will remember him coaching baseball in Rodney and broomball in West Lorne where he led teams to many victories and memorable moments. Gerry took pride in his work including woodworking, where he spent countless hours in his garage handcrafting bird houses and beautiful miniature log cabins. He also enjoyed his time on his patio watching the birds, especially the orioles and other wildlife. Gerry’s days were filled with stories and playing tricks on loved ones. He had a sense of humour and a love for everyone that made him such a wonderful person.
Relatives and friends are invited to celebrate Gerry’s life at Denning’s of Rodney located at 212 Furnival Road 519-785-0810 on Thursday, July 13, 2023 for visitation at 11 am followed by a service at 1 pm. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the St. Thomas Hospital’s Cancer Unit.
