Gerry moved his young family to Ontario and worked for the Board of Transport Commissioners in Ottawa. He then moved to Nova Scotia in 1989 where he spent his wonderful retirement years "down on the farm". He will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Lila (Lively) (Saunders); children, Valerie Paddon (Paul), Rob Bruce (Mary-Anne), both of Belleville, Ontario, Lynn West (Eugene), Calgary, Alberta. He will be sadly missed by his stepchildren, Dave Saunders, Tom Saunders, Brian Saunders (Heather), Andrew Saunders (Tracy) all of Hilden, Randy Saunders (Sharon), Saint John, New Brunswick. He was a dear grandpa to 13 grandchildren; one great-grandchild. He was predeceased by his loving first wife, Edna (Morris). Cremation has taken place. No visitation by request.
