I am sad to hear of Gerald's passing. As he was from the north side and I was from the south side of Grande Prairie, we first met in grade 7 at Montrose Junior High. I graduated with him from the Composite in 1972. We were the first class to attend the "new" composite for grades 10, 11 and 12. I also attended the McLaren Baptist Church Young People's group at the Blunt's house. We had lots of fun with hay rides, toboggan parties and pizza parties. I am sorry to hear of your loss of your father, brother and uncle. 64 is too young to end a life. Susan (Wright) Smith

MY deepest sympathy to your families. Gerald always had a smile and was so easy going and loved to tease. He will be missed by all of you.

Iâ??ve known Gerald for many years going back to when he played hockey. After being out of touch for many years I ran into Gerald about 4 years ago. Much had changed about him, however his same sense of humour was always there. He patiently took me out on the range in GP and showed me what a real shooter can do. We had lots of chuckles and laughs and every time I went to the range my goal was to chat and learn something from Gerald. He was extremely patient, a great story teller, and always to me and my father, a very kind man. I always felt my day was better having spent time with him. I will miss him. To his family I extend my heartfelt sorrow but know that he is in a better place. Randy Peterson

Dear children of Shirley and Allan I am so sorry to hear about Gerald. I am sure it was a shock to you all and it will be hard to handle all the things that come up over the next days. All I can say is that we can be so glad that he has gone on to a better place and a place where he can be with his mom and dad. God bless you all and may he keep you in his hands.

My condolences to the Chugg family. Gerald was a great guy full of smiles. Played hockey with him a long time ago and knew him through school and social settings.
