You were a true role model and touched so many lives. The world lost a real awesome man when God took you home. You will live in my heart always and forever. I love you and miss you Grandpa. Rest in peace - Posted by: Clinton Anderson (Grandson) on: Oct 22, 2016

It truly was an honour to know Gersh, despite his awful jokes. Bob (Gersh's nephew) and I always looked forward to having them here in Tottenham when they came to southern Ontario. He and Della welcomed us with open arms when we finally bought a 'camp' in Sioux Lookout. We shared many meals, campfires, evenings of rummy cube and lots of laughs. I especially enjoyed our fishing expeditions. Thanks for the great memories Gersh. May God Bless You Teena - Posted by: Teena Barbour () on: Oct 14, 2016
