After hardworking careers in painting, maintenance, trucking, and cleaning, Jerry loved gardening with devoted animal companions following alongside him or treasured friendly neighbours stopping by the hedge. He held a deep appreciation for the endless delights of creation, from backyard birds and butterflies to heavenly northern lights. “What a Wonderful World” remained a favourite song.
After 91 years, you’re unforgettably in our hearts Jerry!
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. Matt. 10:29
