Gerry was a fun-loving person who took people at face value. He was always eager to talk about his photography and the places he'd been. Once, on Facebook he posted a gorgeous shot of sunflowers, which I loved. I jokingly said "I would like that as a 16x20 print please. A week later it arrived via Canada Post! Thank you also for working so hard to scan hundreds of negatives and photos from our family history.

You were a sunny addition to our family, and are very much missed.

Gerry was a loving father to Christine. She was often his side-kick on his frequent photo excursions. They loved going for brunch on Saturday and were regulars at the Jolly Mug restaurant. We will all miss Gerry but am glad he is no longer suffering.

Gerry was such a fun person to be with. At every family get together, on various trips, photo and birding expeditions Gerry shared many laughs and even more photos. A patient and wonderful teacher, he loved helping people learn the art of photography and editing.

It's so hard to believe we will not be able to be with Gerry in person any more. He will be in our hearts forever. Gerry got SO excited when we found an old barn, a beautiful prairie wildflower or a Snowy Owl. His enthusiasm knew no limits. Walking half a mile in -35° with 3 feet of snow to shoot an abandoned grain elevator was as easy for him as spending an hour photograph ing a Prairie Lily on warm summer day. We miss your smile, your laugh and your enthusiasm Gerry. I know our next family gathering or photo shoot with you will be something else. Keep your batteries charged and lens cap off Gerry. I can't wait for our next shoot!!

Love

Gerry was one of my closest friends in the Club. He always had a smile wnd a good word for everyone. It pained me so muchto hear of his suffering that I could not bear to see him during that period. I will truly miss him and remember the fun times we shared.

Dear Gerry, where you were there was laughter. The nieces and nephews called you Funny Uncle Gerry. You were always fun to be around - a multi talented individual. And much loved. Rest in peace dear Gerry.

We will miss Gerry deeply at the Manitoba Camera Club meetings.

He was more than a fellow member — he was my mentor and a generous teacher who shared so much of his knowledge, especially when it came to editing.

The photo of him in front of the barn was taken during one of our very first trips to abandoned Manitoba places. I’ll always remember that day — the laughter, the learning, and the joy of exploring old buildings together. It was pure fun and adventure. We

Gerry was a very active member of the Manitoba Camera Club. He served as its treasurer for several years. Gerry was also one of the MCC's top photographers, winning many monthly competition awards. He is missed for sharing his exceptional photo editing skills. I have posted images of Gerry at the last MCC windup that he was able to attend.
