Major Gerald Beverley Brown, CD With great sadness we announce the passing of Gerald, at the age of 88, on January 14, 2018. He was the devoted husband of Laraine for 47 years, and the loving father of his children, Jayson and Stacey. Jerry served with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corp from 1952-1979 as part of the Hamilton Service Battalion (formerly the 133 Service Corp), and retired with the rank of Major. Jerry was an accomplished and multi-talented individual whose life reflected his wide array of interests and talents. He attended the Ontario College of Art and worked as an artist and designer. He also attended teacher's college and spent time as a teacher, and was involved with officer training at Camp Borden. He was also, at various points in his life, a travel consultant and a cartographer (working in the latter capacity for the Department of National Defense). Jerry was also an avid reader, and loved to dance. He will be remembered for his ready laughter and mischievous sense of humour and wordplay. The family would like to thank the staff at St. Peter's Hospital and the nurses of the Surgical Oncology and Medicine wards at Juravinski Hospital for their care of Jerry. They would also like to extend a special thank you to Lisa Gauthier and the other PSWs of the CCAC for the home care that they extended to Jerry over the last year. In keeping with Jerry's wishes, there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Army Cadet League of Canada, or to the charity of your choice.
