Gerry was born in Fisher Branch in the house where he lived for the majority of his life. He was predeceased by his parents Louis and Fidélise (nee Benoit), as well as his 10 siblings, his son Edmond, daughters Mary and May, great-grandson Tavis, and great-great-granddaughter Malaika. Gerry will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Margaret (nee Vandersteen), daughter-in-law Shirley (nee Stemkowski), Anne (Denis Pantel), David (Huguette Mulaire), Denis (Rose-Marie Le Nouail), Roland (Huguette Fouasse), Therese (Bob Moggey), Noella (Roland Hoffman), Emma (Tom Forbes), Diane (Les Mauthe) and Nancy Sinclair-Dandeneau, 31 grandchildren, 57 great-grandchildren, numerous nephews and nieces, and many friends. Gerry was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He met the love of his life Margaret and they were married for 73 years. Together they raised their 10 children on the original homestead farm. He took the farm over from his father Louis at a very early age and farmed until he was 50 where he continued to help his son Denis on the farm at a leisurely pace. He drove the school bus, and was custodian of Fisher Branch High School until he retired at age 65. For over 20 years, following his retirement, Dad and Mom loved to spend their winters in Palm Springs. Dad was a hard working, honest man who had a real passion for life. He was fun loving, and will always be remembered for his quick wit, teasing and great sense of humour. He will also be remembered for his genuine kindness, his generosity and his warm-heartedness. Besides providing for his large family, Gerry volunteered much of his time to his community and church. He was very strong in his faith and the church was an important part of his life. He was a Grand Knight and a member of the 4th Degree Assembly. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all the staff at Fisher Personal Care Home (P.C.H.) who treated Gerry and his family with respect, love, care and compassion. Funeral Mass will be held Friday, April 21, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. in the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Fisher Branch with Father Darius Biliran presiding. Burial will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Gerard to the Fisher P.C.H., Box 548, Fisher Branch, Manitoba, R0C 0Z0. -- As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on Apr 18, 2017 The book of local history "A Place of Our Own - A History of Fisher Branch and surrounding towns" (1982), contains many details of his life and that of his family during the early decades of the area's development, with mentions throughout.
