We fondly carry such wonderful memories of Gerry and Dorothy from spending over 25 years on Big Duck Island, neighboring the Dunn Cottage. We remember all the wonderful times..... canoe trips, pancake breakfasts, cocktail hour on their cottage deck, sing songs, and so many other big and small shared adventures. I send my love to the family. Dorothy lives on in all of us. - Posted by: Hilda Glenesk (Friend of the Family/ Lake of the Woods) on: Jan 02, 2016

Dorothy and Gerry were neighbors on Big Duck Island for over 25 years. I remember so much kindness and many years. They were "on the point" and we're always our first wave when coming and going. Lots of good times and great memories. From:Mark and Jennifer Glenesk. - Posted by: Mark Glenesk (Big Duck neighbor) on: Jan 02, 2016

The Dunns were our neighbours on Borebank Street. Dorothy always made me feel very welcome at their home, cottage and even in Naples one Christmas. Loved her spirit and caring ways. I remember her determination driving her Triumph Herald in the winter! So sorry to hear of her passing. - Posted by: Graham Gork (Friend of the family) on: Nov 21, 2015
