Nobody I know was as confident as he in Divine Providence. It gave him the freedom to pursue dreams such as establishing, and maintaining his own business, raising a family of six children, and buying a home of palatial proportions. Not one to ever worry he remained unflustered throughout the day of our wedding when somebody broke into his shop and stole a collection worth several thousand dollars that had been entrusted to him while he evaluated it. That collection included a letter from King Louis of France to Count Frontenac. My wife and I only found out about that the next day when we read about it in the Toronto Star. Now with the same confidence he has gone on to meet Our Lord and His Blessed Mother together the whole company of heaven he has been longing to meet. RECQVIESCAT IN PACE
On behalf of my father Loughlin Stephens (and mother Ann) and myself, I wish to offer my deepest condolences to Bernice and the Sherlock clan. My father befriended Gerry and his family in the 1950’s and always remembered Gerry and Bernice with great fondness. I myself was taken under Gerry’s wing for my all too brief stay in Toronto in the 1980’s and have tremendous affection and fond memories of Gerry and his family. I am sad that I cannot be there for the great send off but will raise a toast to a great and kind man who will be terribly missed by all.
