Gerald worked at Bristal Aero Space for 43 years, where he made many lifelong friends.
Gerald had many hobbies which included fishing and hunting with his friends and grandkids. He also loved watching the grandkids sporting activities, he would proudly cheer them on from the sidelines. his favourite past time was spent with his wife of 50 years cooking up everyone’s favourite dishes.
He fought hard for the last three years, but lost his battle with cancer. We are so incredibly sad that he’s gone but now he is at peace now with no more pain. We love you and miss you now and forever, until we meet again.

Mac was the welcoming committee at home! always out at the back door chatting and always offering to lend a hand should you need it. Home will not be home without him. He was one of the BEST neighbors anyone could ask for.
I was so sad to hear of his passing.
Mac you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.
