Dear Carole and family, my sincere condolences on the loss of Jerry, I met Jerry on my first day at Labatt back in 1970, had many years working with Jerry. He will be missed.
My sincere condolences Carol and Family: I enjoyed working with Jerry for many years at the Brewery & on the Credit Union Board, he made everyday a little brighter for all of us and his spirit will continue in heaven.
I knew Jerry for only a few short years while playing golf at St. Mary’s Golf Club.
We had a few things in common: He worked at Labatt’s with my Brother in Law (Bill Mitchell) and he loved his London Knights and Montreal Canadiens as much as I.
I’ll miss him greatly!
I worked with Jerry many years ago at Labatt’s and always enjoyed our “bantering” back and forth. He was a fun guy. My condolences to your family.
So very sad to hear of Jerry’s passing. He was one of the “fixtures” at the brewery and will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to his entire family. I choose to remember the good times with Jerry, when we were all so young and such a close knit gang.
Rest in peace old friend.

To Carole & Family
We are sad to hear the passing of Jerry. Don worked with Jerry when he first started at Labatt’s in the Print shop. We both enjoyed the many Office Services parties that were hosted at George and Darlene Clampitt’s farm. Also, we had fun playing bridge with you and Jerry at your home. One time, Carol you said these Pringles tasted like wall paste and Jerry kept saying, “Don and Sandy brought these”. We all had a chuckle.
Carole and family — our deepest condolences – Jerry was a true friend and gentleman. We spent many a good time either with the RA or golfing or on trips – He was the man who introduced me to the RA and the spirit of giving back to others and for that I will be forever thankful

Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your husband Gerry. Gerry and I grew up together in Kensal Park as neighbours and eventually followed both our fathers in being employed by Labatt. Great memories of Wonderland and all the things that we teenagers did in those days!
