Condolence: Ray and girls and families. I am just seeing Gerry’s obituary now and I can’t tell you how sorry I am to learn of his passing. I had a feeling in my gut as the last couple of times I saw Gerry he wasn’t well. My Dad passed away the Christmas before Gerry. As I was his only care giver and he was my best friend and my hero Dad I was gutted to say the least. Over the next year or so I thought often about Gerry, he always called me his 3rd daughter. Gerry and I met at the Theraputic pool at Southlake and we would always gab and do our exercises together every week for 10 years, as I was a stained glass artist and taught classes in Newmarket we had art in common. I loved his paintings and we both shared a love of nature. It was my pleasure to do a stained glass for Ray and Gerry’s living room. When I went to install it I noticed a hair line fracture in one of the pieces. It would have meant a total do over. As it was not visible when installed I told them I couldn’t charge them for it. Gerry decided that he would give me some of his prints instead and I was quite happy with that for sure. I have them framed and hanging all over my house. When my Dad passed I kept thinking about Gerry. My second Dad and how I should get in touch but I just had this feeling and it was too upsetting. I wish now that I had but by the time I would have it would probably would have been too late for sure. I am not sure if Ray is still in her house but I will call in the fall when I am home from my cottage and see. If not please know that my heart is broken too for my friend and and for all of you. I am sorry that I didn’t get in touch at the time. He will be remembered by many xo

Condolence: I personally didn't know Gerry Heath, but certainly knew of him, from an old pal that has also left us, Bob Doesburg. In fact, I have one of Gerry's paintings that Bob gifted to me-he was a very talented artist! Sincere condolences to the family.

Condolence: I met Gerry when I started playing Bridge and he was the President of the Aurora Bridge Club. He made me and everyone at the club feel very welcome and valued. He was a fine Bridge player and taught me many lessons - especially when I overbid and he doubled. He was a very fine gentleman and will be sorely missed !!!

Condolence: It sad to hear of Gerry's passing. My condolences to the family. He was one of the good guys.
