GARDINER, GERARD

November 14, 1950 - March 14, 2024

Gerard Joseph Gardiner (Judd), cherished father, beloved husband, devoted brother, and adored grandfather, passed away peacefully on March 14, 2024, at the age of 73, with his wife Elizabeth at his side. Gerard’s love of his family, the outdoors, and his time as a fisherman defined the incredible man he was.

Gerard was born on the rocky shores of the Grey Islands to his parents, Gerald and Bridget. There, like many other families, he learned to live on what they had while maintaining a sense of pride and devotion to family. When he resettled to Conche, he and his seven siblings took these values with them.

Though many families moved away from Conche, Gerard chose to stay where he would eventually meet his wife of 35 years, Betty, and start a family of his own.

 Gerard worked at a variety of jobs over his lifetime and spent many hours at the fish plant, but it was fishing that he loved most.

 He enjoyed his many trips to the wharf with his dog, Jack, to chat with the local fishermen about fishing, the weather, and everything in between. He always loved to torment his siblings, wife, and kids just to create laughter for those around him.

 To his family, Gerard was the definition of selfless. Everything he did was for his wife and his children, and he asked for little in return. He was an ever-present father and husband and gave his children the greatest childhood of playing hockey, boil ups, swimming trips, and always trying to pass on his love of the outdoors.

We will remember Gerard for his love and devotion to his family,  his willingness to help others, and his love of the water. He will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

 He was predeceased by his parents, Gerald Gardiner & Bridget Gardiner.

 Left to mourn are his wife Elizabeth; children Darrell (Samantha), Damian, Sara, and Dereck; grandchildren Anna and Layla; Siblings Don, Jean, Mary, Carmelita (Tony), Angela (Leon), Gerry (Ellen), and Loretta (Ron).

Visitation to take place from the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Conche beginning from 7-9 pm, Friday, March 22, 2024. The funeral mass will take place at 11:00 am on Saturday, March 23, 2024 with Fr. George officiating. Interment to follow.

The family will make funeral arrangements at a later date in consultation with the Sacred Heart Parish. They have been entrusted to Kerry M. Fillatre’s Funeral Home, St. Anthony and Roddickton.

LEWIS, GERARD FRANCIS

June 18, 1949- Nov 18, 2020

Gerry passed away peacefully at Charles Curtis Memorial Hospital in St Anthony with his loving wife and close friends by his side. Gerry spent the majority of his years fishing and upon closure of the fishery, his newfound passion became commercial truck driving. He was an avid reader who collected many books and always had one on hand to pass on to someone else. Gerry was a humble man who enjoyed the simple things in life: puttering around in his shed, chopping wood, hunting and boating. His love for nature was evident by the many hours he spent watching wildlife and documentary shows. His well lived life, leaves us with many treasure memories that will comfort us in the days ahead.. With saddened hearts he leaves to mourn his wife Loretta, daughter Stephanie, son in law Kearney, his pride and joy “#1. Granddaughter” Emily, brothers Brian, Pat (Ratu), Gordon (Emily); brother-in-law Terry, and a large circle of nieces/nephews, extended family and friends. Gerry was predeceased by his parents Rose & Harry Lewis, brothers Jerome and Paul and loving sister Mary.

In keeping with his wishes, cremation has taken place. Due to COVID 19 restrictions, funeral service will be announced at a future date.
