Jerry (JR) was a 'man for all seasons' as others have stated already -- a member of Stevensville men's baseball team in the 1960's, making evening skiing trips with Jen to Kissing Bridge resort, a family camper holidaying at Deer Lake, Sundridge, a keen golfer at various courses in the Niagara Region, a school trip chaperone to Europe, and an enthusiastic spectator at various indoor and outdoor sports events supporting Philip and Jen, and later the grand children. Jerry was dedicated to his working careers and his family. He and Helen were a constant and supportive couple to each other in their home life, church life, and community projects. Both enjoyed flower gardening and wildlife viewing. Jerry always had his binoculars at hand, and showed keen curiosity in neighbourhood goings-on. They travelled within Canada and the US enjoying the driving experience, and sightseeing off the main roads. Each supported the other through their lifetimes. A great testimony to all.
Personally I can testify that I benefited from, and am very thankful for, Jerry and Helen's love and generosity. I look forward to our happy celestial reunion. God gave Jerry a long and productive life here with us.
