Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGERALD RONALD CORRIGAL
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Gerald Ronald Corrigal, 69, who left us peacefully on September 20, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.
He was the cherished father of James Keith Corrigal (Partner Leanne Waite), and Samantha Ann Bowles (Partner, Brian Bowles). He was a delighted grandfather to newborn Sabrina Ann Waite-Corrigal.
He will be lovingly remembered by his "bonus daughter" Megan Wiebe, "bonus granddaughter" Addisen Wiebe, countless friends, held in special esteem by his cousin, Randy McElhoes and his former wife and great friend Ann Buchanan the mother of both of his children.
Gerry was a true leader and very passionate about the insurance industry.
Gerry owned and operated McElhoes and Duffy with his brother Steve Corrigal.
He was the president of the Insurance Brokers Association of Manitoba, and also was the Founder of The Young Brokers Committee.
Gerry was his happiest when he was around family and friends. His outgoing and sociable nature was a gift to all who knew him. He thrived in a crowd and had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome and valued.
You will forever live in the hearts of your family.
"At the end of the day" as dad used to always say, please take time to remember him as we do with love.

Such a nice fellow! I am shocked that Gerry has left us so soon. As a business acquaintance and friend I never saw Gerry without a smile on his face. A very genuine and likeable person. May you rest in peace Gerry and hope you find your Ptarmagan Bay up in heaven. How he loved Lake of the Woods. - Posted by: Bob Bertrand (Business Acquaintance) on: Sep 27, 2025

My dear old friend Gerry. Such a fun and caring guy! Our friendship goes way back to high school: many a trip to the St. VItal Hotel for music ( and beer), visits to Gerry’s cottage at Lake of the Woods, Bomber and Jets games, political discussions (we weren’t on the same team), and parties with friends from Glenlawn Collegiate! What a hoot we had! I left for a job in Vancouver in the early 90’s but Gerry and I kept in touch: visits back and forth between Winnipeg and Vancouver, still more Bomber and Jets games, discussions about Gerry’s trips overseas (once he retired), and the joy he had visiting his kids in Halifax. So much more to say, but I’ll finish with a heartfelt salute to one of my oldest and dearest friends. Peter Burch - Posted by: Peter Burch (Old friend (figuratively and literally)) on: Sep 27, 2025

I am very sad to hear of Gerry’s passing. Gerry and his family where very important in my family as our insurance brokers, customers of ours and most of all friends. I remember when dad Ron would come to my dads service station for service or even out of his way just for gas in that beautiful 1967 chev caprice. When Gerry and Steve were more into the business I too was more involved in our family business and you could say that the Corrigal family and Renn families became much more than business associates. Gerry and I enjoyed many rounds of golf and lunches together. He stood very tall in all the lives he touched. Rest well my friend.
