He was a gifted and innovative teacher who loved his work. Though his later retirement years have been marred by ill health, he took pleasure in books, music, his animals and friends, and put together two small, delightful collections of his poems. The family would like to acknowledge with much gratitude the kind and considerate care provided by doctors Helen Cluett and Sara Le Blanc and all the rest of the staff at the Sandbanks Medical Clinic. A celebration of Gerry’s life will take place at a time and venue as yet to be determined. If you wish to make a charitable donation in Gerry’s memory, the PEC Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Loyalist Humane Society are suggested by the family.
