Gerry was a hard-working man, and took pride in his trade (Electrician), he was always looking to help out people in need. Not only was he hard-working in his profession, but he believed in being self-sufficient by cutting and chopping his own wood, maintaining a garden for fresh food for the fall and winter. In addition to this he had a immense love of the outdoors, hunting and fishing, especially being on his boat which he took great pride in. He loved to take anyone who would wake up before dawn to fish, and if he couldn’t find anyone he would drag his family out of bed. He also loved and enjoyed music of all genres. Lastly and most importantly, he took great pride in his family, and everything he worked for was for them. He gave his all for his family, to provide for them right up to the end.
