He worked for many years in the oilfields of Alberta and was a Site Superinten­dent at Aurora site in Fort McMurray when he passed. He was an avid outdoorsma­n, as he loved to hunt, fish and anything else to do with nature. He was a member of a local ATV club and riding in the woods of Lake Ainslie was his favourite thing to do. Gerald enjoyed hosting family gatherings with his children and grandchild­ren, loving the chaos of such a large family. Turkey dinners and barbecue being his forte.
