After a two-year battle with lung cancer, Gerry leaves behind his children, Kimberley and Kevin Corneillie, granddaughter McKenna Perkins, his nephews, Jeremy (Lenore) and James (Kari), sister-in-law Judy and many loving friends.

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

My deepest condolences to Gerry's family. I first met Gerry in the early 70's when I transferred to the CN Express. We worked together at the Express for close to 10 years. We then moved to Transcona Shops, Gerry in the Stores and I in the Car Shop. After moving to Customer Service I again ran into Gerry, he in one department and I in another where we both retired from. I also met Betty there as well. What a great couple they made. Gerry was a very conscientious employee. We had a good time working with Gerry. He was so easy to get along with and always had a smile. I also spent time with Gerry outside work. After hours at the local watering hole and curling with some of our fellow employees for the Express, including in a CN Bonspiel in Saskatoon. Great times! Last time I saw Gerry was at Betty's funeral. I wish I would have made it a point to keep in touch with him. Rest in peace Slawko!
