Please select one of the family's preferred charities:
Sincere sympathy to Roely, the Vanderklippe family and the deBoer family on the death of Gerry. He will long be remember for his dedication to touring on the bike. Every year he was so proud of breaking the previous record. An inspiration to everyone. Treasure the great memories.
Sincere sympathy on behalf of the Keith family. Margaret remembers many happy times and admired Gerry's farming abilities. Brian went to school with Bill, Sandra went to school with Margaret and Murray went to school with Derick. It's always hard to lose those Kinloss farmers and community-minded men of integrity. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
May God fill your hearts and minds with "his peace beyond all understanding". So wonderful that your dad could be surrounded with his loving family singing the praises of God. May you feel God's presence in the next weeks as you adjust to your father having moved to his eternal home. Love, Tony and Linda.
To Roely and the Vanderklipp family: my sincere sympathy on Gerry's sudden passing. I often had visits with him when he was out on his biking adventures. He loved to keep busy and wasn't he blessed to keep on biking that he loved so much.. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
