Dear Betty,
It’s with great sadness that I recently heard about the passing of Gerry. He was one of the most respected Superintendents at IOC, and a natural leader in the pit. I learned so much from him in my early career at IOC, and I’m grateful for working with him. Even in his early retirement he often returned for periods, it was always good to see him around the office, and I knew that things would be okay when he was around.
I hope this note reaches you as I realize it’s been several weeks since Gerry passed away. Please pass along my condolences to your daughters, and I hope that you are doing well despite your loss.
Condolences from,
Tim and Heather (Campbell) Leriche
Gerry passed.

Dear Betty and Family,
I am deeply saddened of Gerry's passing. So many memories come to mind. I worked along side Gerry for many many years like most. To me and to many others he was a mentor. I learned so much from him about mining. He was humble, hard working and extremely knowledgeable. He was a great friend, we had great times fishing together with our buddies. I will always remember Gerry as the Early Bird on the job. Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed immensely.
Betty, thinking of you and your family, wishing you peace and comfort in the months ahead.
Sincerely,
Yves Ste-Marie and Family
Labrador City

Dear Betty and Family, Words cannot express our shock at reading Gerald's Obituary on line today. We send you our deepest sympathy, our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. We were happy to visit you this summer....and little did we think that this would have been our last visit with Gerald. The tributes written for Gerald, given by all the former messages of condolences, are certainly notable for the wonderful person that he was. We have so many good memories of your families during our visits to Riverhead. May your own memories sustain you during the years to come. Barbara and Peter Fitzgerald

While I haven't seen Gerry in over 25 years I have never forgotten him. Gerry was my first General Foreman when I started at Smallwood mine at IOCC in 1980. I will never forget how well he treated me. I was as green as could be but Gerry was patient and couldn't have been more helpful. In those very early weeks and months of my career when one is so impressionable, Gerry taught me some important lessons about how to work well with others. He listened carefully to anyone and treated everyone with respect. No surprise that he was held in such high regard.
My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

Betty, Deanna, Tammy and families, My thoughts and prayers are with you all today as you grieve the loss of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Gerry touched so many lives, whether it be at work or just through friendship.
I met him first at IOC and quickly came to realize he was one of the smartest and well-liked people there. He was definitely a awesome boss, and I took great pleasure in organizing a retirement party for him.
I was so pleased that I got an opportunity to see him this past summer. It had been a number of years, but somehow, I felt compelled to visit. Right now, I am extremely glad I did.
Gerry is gone but his legacy will live on in the hearts of many for years to come.

To Mrs Cain and Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences, and please accept these short comments;
Gerry was a friend, but he was also a giant figure within the fraternity at IOCC which started the Labrador Operation and kept it going through good times and tough times, keeping his hand on the tiller without ever wavering or giving up hope.
I cannot remember anytime or any situation when Gerry was unhappy, grouchy or would have a problem without having already thought of a solution.
I spent five years working alongside Gerry, and his large group of followers, who trusted him implicitly, and those five years were amongst the most gratifying in my long stint in mining.
Gerry helped me integrate into the NFLD culture with a lot of patience, and was also responsible for the party when he forced myself and Sharon to kiss a fish!
Together with Gerry, the mining team at IOCC moved mountains and achieved many great things. Amongst those were 2 million man-hours accident free and many other first's which could be added to Gerry's name.
But Gerry did not want medals, mentions or honours, he just enjoyed doing what was right.
He will now join two of his long time companions and close friends, the other two giant figures of IOCC who also left us before their time was up, Peter Collins and Fred Rugg.
I am sorry I cannot attend the day when his life will be celebrated. But my thoughts are with you on that day, and the memory of Gerry is engraved in my memory forever.
Sincerely
Sadek El-Alfy
