    I’m just now hearing of the passing of this wonderful person. We met in Cuba in 1999, and quickly became a Canadian “Group” – and spent the week laughing harder than I ever have. We continued to keep in touch all these years and when I didn’t hear form him on my Birthday just last month (May), I thought it strange, as he never missed. May he rest in Peace. To the family of Jerry – my deepest and most sincere condolences. He was like a big brother to me. Heaven has gained another Angel and I’m without a doubt that there is laughter and smiles all around in Heaven since his entering through the gates. RIP my friend.

    To the Hosford family,

    I have been working for your Dad/Grandpa for the last two or three years clearing snow, cutting grass and also performing some odd jobs around his home and would like to express my condolences.

    Sincerely,

    Will Cookson

    To Andrew and your family, my deepest condolences. Jerry and my family camped up in Bayfield years ago and we were the best of neighbours. We enjoyed a lot of conversation, campfires and just good old fun. Between Hos, Kip and Merlin (the pets of Jerry and ours), our girls Erin and Olivia – we all have such fond memories of those days. Your dad was a kind man a very good person.
