Oh Gerb. He could you pass away!

Condolence from Bonnie Ziler on May 22nd, 2023 7:30 AM

Linda and family, so sorry for your loss. It was just in March that Gerb had sent me condolences on the loss of my husband Cam. He said they use to go riding together when they were young. I met Gerb years ago and the first thing I notice was his laugh which I would call a giggle. It just made you want to make him laugh more. I haven’t seen him in years but that wouldn’t of matter because you would just start talking like you seen him yesterday and wait for the laugh.
My heart aches for you and your family and even though I have just gone through this I don’t really have any words of advise other then you will find a reason to get out of bed each morning then tell yourself you got this. Stay strong
Take care Bonnie Ziler

Condolence from Jessie Brown on May 23rd, 2023 9:07 AM

Linda & Family,

Gary was one of the first people to welcome my boys & I into our neighbourhood about 12 years ago. I enjoyed hearing stories of his younger years and about his parents. He in turn enjoyed hearing how the boys were doing at school & hockey. He gave my oldest son his first job cutting his grass & from there the torch was passed to my youngest son. My youngest son had some good conversations with Gary this past month & came running home a couple of weeks ago so excited because Gary had given him a $5 raise. We will miss Gary so much. I am very sorry for your loss yet so very happy that he found you when he did. He had such a big heart & it warms my heart knowing he had someone to share it with.

Condolence from Dave and Joanne Walzack on May 23rd, 2023 9:08 AM

Condolence from Mickie Struyke-Laurin (Daughter Of Alida) on May 23rd, 2023 4:35 PM

“Gerb” was a kind and caring soul. He made visits after his Mom passed to see my Mom bringing flowers , cards and gifts on special occasions. I am sure her Dutch accent brought him some reminder of his Mom.
You were a friend to many and my Mom was so happy to know Gerb had his lovely companion “Linda” and her children in his life.
Rest in Peace Good man and say hi to my Mom for me. ❤️
