He was the cherished husband to the late Margaret “Marg” (nee Weber, 2014). Gerry was also the beloved brother-in-law, uncle, and friend to many.

Born in Brantford to Frank and Hilda Procter, Gerry was a passionate sportsman who loved playing hockey, baseball, and football. He became an exceptional golfer throughout his life, a skill he enjoyed well into his later years.
