We sure will miss you pa. I was sure lucky to have you as my grandpa. My kids Hayden and Jenna remember last summer when it was hot out and you where in your garden with your round nose shovel, we got out of our car with ice cream from Holyrood store, you threw your shovel and grabbed your ice cream. We will always remember you pa. Love Brad , Joey-Lynn, Hayden and Jenna!
Very sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Gerry. My condolences to his family. I vividly remember visits to Gerry's farm when I was young. Our dad Ralph liked to volunteer is to help out (no doubt to toughen is up) and Gerry was no-nonsense about work but also loved a good joke. I can still hear his jovial laugh, which was always a welcome sound at family gatherings. Gerry lives on in his many descendants.
I am very sorry to hear that Gerald has passed. We had many wonderful nights of playing Solo together. Sending my sincere condolences to all his family. Jed Schmidt.

Dear David, Allan, Wayne, Marilyn & Families - My deep sympathy to you all on the loss of Gerald. He was a great neighbour, and 'rescued' me more than once. I always liked Gerald. He was a hard worker, but knew how to play hard as well. He got quite the little twinkle in his eye when he was winning at solo! Family and farming were also big priorities in his life, and I'm glad, with your help, he was able to stay at his home as long as he did. May he rest in peace. Jean
So sorry to hear about Uncle Jerry's passing. He was the brother closest in age to my father Ralph and they had a special bond. Dad always spoke so highly of his brother Jerry. I remember he was quick with a joke and visiting the farm was always an education. Elderberry picking and raccoon hunting stick out in my memory as well as helping out picking cucumbers from Marilyn's crop in the summer of '76. I will miss him. Love to the whole family.
Our Deepest Sympathy to Gerald 's Family on his passing , We want you all to know that we thinking about you all . Sending hugs to the entire family . RIP GERALD !!!
