Gerald Morrow
December 29th, 1938-November 9th, 2017
With broken hearts, our family is saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Gerald. Gerry passed away in his 79th year, with his loving family by his side on Thursday November 9th 2017 at the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital.
Gerry was a quiet man who loved his family and always ensured everyone was well taken care of. He was a husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to many. He leaves behind his one true love of almost 61 years, Faye (nee Craig). Gerry was an amazing father to Marie, Michael and Doryann and predeceased by his parents, two infant children, as well as his granddaughters Amanda and Patricia, who were waiting for him at the gates of Heaven.
Gerald was an amazing Grampa to 11 grandchildren and great Grampa to 16.
Gerry was always whistling. Anyone can attest to this fact. You could always hear him coming, or know where he was just by that distinctive whistling. His favourite of course, was Oh Danny Boy. Gerry was a man of many trades, whether it be fixing cars, house renovations, or jimmy rigging something around the house so that it would work better than it did before. He was a man of many talents.
Gerry was kind, hard working and loving. He will be missed by so many.
As per Gerald's wishes, there will be no wake or funeral.
Thanks goes out to the staff and nurses at Arnprior District Memorial Hospital. Your kindness and compassion during Gerry's last few days got our family through. Special thanks to Lucy, Our family cannot thank you enough for your compassion, kindness and love towards Gerry and our family. You were there for us in ways we can't explain, and for that, we are so thankful for you.
In Lieu of donations, please feel free to make a donation in Gerald's memory to a cause that is near and dear to your heart.
"Your life was a blessing, Your memory a treasure, You are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure"
