Jerry met in his later years and married his second wife, Armancia Joubert. He enjoyed working with his hands and was well known for his excellence in stucco work, passing on his trade to his sons. He enjoyed carpentry and tried his hand at logging, but it was not for him. Jerry was the happiest when working.  He loved his garden and tending to his yard. Also going fishing when he could. He will never be forgotten for the many pranks and practical jokes he enjoyed pulling on family and friends. Jerry will be missed by all that knew and loved him.

At Jerry’s, request no formal service will be held. Interment will take place at a later date.  Condolences may be sent to the family at www.grays.ca.  Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Gray’s Funeral Chapel, (306) 922-4729.
