"Gerry" was best man at my wedding on 23 May 1964.
ReplyDeleteI had lost complete touch with him for some 40 years, and by chance discovered his phone number after I attended the memorial service in Petawawa for our fallen jumpers.
I had the pleasure of talking to him by telephone on May 10th of 2011, and it is with great sadness to learn of his passing.
May you rest in peace. I have fond memories of you and our past......
