From the beginning, Ger fit into the Karges family (his in-laws) with ease. He was a gentle, funny, intelligent man who had so many interests and he was dearly loved by his mother and father in law Clayton and Lyla .
Gerry shared many entertaining stories about growing up in Quebec with his brother Larry and his family. We loved hearing about his family life there and knew that he had a very happy, fun filled and interesting life before coming to Toronto where he met Max.
Gerry loved to create. As a carpenter, he created many beautiful pieces for Max and Ger’s home and we are all fortunate to have his wooden pens that he so proudly shared with us.
Ger was really interested in wildlife , and was happy to share his many photographs of the birds that they drew to the feeders and many nesting boxes at their place. As a long time bird lover I looked forward to these exchanges.
Ger knew how to make special days fun and I’m sure that along with all of his Facebook friends, we always looked forward to receiving some funny or sweet ,on line greeting card. Sadly, I missed getting one at Easter this year.
Ger was a creator of delicious baked items in the kitchen. We all looked forward to his brownies and rhubarb cake as well as to trying his other baked goodies. His rolls and breads were always a part of the Karges holiday dinners.
We will miss you so much Ger and we will take care of the love of your life, Max. So long my friend. Ro
