As the oldest of Uncle Gerry's nieces and nephews, my siblings and I though he was the coolest guy and felt so lucky that he was our uncle! He would come to visit (in the summer because he claimed to be Frank Mahovlich and was playing hockey in the winters) and we were enamoured with him. As I grew older and moved to Toronto, Uncle Gerry and I became good friends as well. He was a gentle soul, never raised his voice, and was always interested in what you were doing or saying. While I didn't see him as often once I moved away, I made a point of visiting him and Doreen every time I visited Toronto. I will miss him. Deepest sympathies to Doreen, Janet and John and Gerry's remaining siblings!
