<div itemprop="description">Following a courageous battle with a lengthy illness, Gerry passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family. <br /> <br />Gerry is survived by his devoted wife June, of 62 &frac12; years, son Don, daughter Cheri and her husband Barry Grovum, adored grandchildren Valene and Brett, brother Ron and his wife Britt, sister-in-law Carola and many nieces, nephews and cousins. <br /> <br />Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Gerry moved to Nanaimo at 12 years of age and has resided here ever since. He had a 30 year career with Nanaimo Fire Department and retired as Captain in 1993. <br /> <br />Gerry&rsquo;s passions included time with his family, fishing, hunting and the great outdoors. A talented jack of all trades he was always available to lend a helping hand to family and friends. <br /> <br />Even throughout his illness, Gerry never complained and always had a smile and maintained his mischievous sense of humour. His strength, determination and dignity is to be admired. <br /> <br />He was a loving, caring, amazing husband, father and Papa and will be greatly missed by all. <br /> <br />The family expresses deep gratitude to Dr. Ibrahim Dodo for his exceptional care and compassion. Also, to Dr. Thomas Davies for his many years of kindness and care. A special thanks to Dale, a valued member of our family who spent many happy hours with Gerry. We would also like to extend our thanks to VIHA Home Support staff for their exceptional service. <br /> <br />Celebration of life will be held at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at Sands Funeral Chapel, 1 Newcastle Avenue, Nanaimo, BC.</div>
