Dear Marion, Paul, June and Family.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Gerry. He was always a big part of my life, serving as a Sunday School Teacher, a leader in the Church T.Y.R.O., Boy Scout Master and working together in the last Village of Caledon East Council with Gerry being Reeve. The Town of Caledon has lost one of its Greatest Citizens.

Dear Marion, Paul, June, Elizabeth and Mark.
Our sincerest condolences to you on the loss of a kind, caring, thoughtful gentleman – husband, father and grandfather.
l have only heard from residents of Caledon East what a great Reeve Gerald was during his term of office for the former village of Caledon East but…. I CAN testify that he was an exemplary member of the Land Division and Committee of Adjustment committee during the years he served, when I was Secretary.
He was always honest and made sound decisions. He was a good listener and had a great sense of humour. I shall never forget his infectious laugh!
He has left a hole in this community he served so well over the years and will always be remembered.
Rest in peace my friend.

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Gerald and Marion welcomed me back in 1955 when I first came to Caledon East as a bride and they were wonderful friends with both my late husband Ginger and myself ever since. I had the greatest respect for both of them within the church and community.

My condolences to you Paul, your family and to your Mother on the passing of your Father. I just happened to read the Caledon Citizen on line and saw the wonderful tribute to him. He seems to have led a well-rounded life. I did not have the pleasure of meeting him but I am sure that he could tell wonderful stories of growing up in Caledon East.
