He is survived by his beloved wife and best friend of 55 years Linda, children Lisa Bruinsma (Paul), Michelle Cameron (Chris), and Mark Anderson, his granddaughters Daniele, Ryanne, Hannah, Sadie and niece Leanne. Predeceased by his mother Phyllis, father Howard, sister Cathy, nephew Shaun, mother-in-law Nellie, father-in-law Roy, and brother-in-law Brian.
Gerry loved his family and pets more than anything in the world. The outdoors, and especially being at the trailer at Wasaga Beach were a close second.
Gerry would have wanted his friends to step outside and enjoy nature. Take photos, tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, and most of all, to be kind and appreciate what you have.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life to be announced at a date in the near future.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to your local OSPCA, or Humane Society.
