elevated D927A It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Gerard Walter Glynn on March 26, 2025.
elevated D927A Gerry passed peacefully at home, having spent his last weeks surrounded by his wife Janet; John and Helen (son and daughter-in-law); and Julia and Ryan (daughter and partner). He remains in the thoughts and prayers of his extended family.
elevated D927A During those last weeks, we had time, as a family, to share our favourite memories, and warmly reflect on the myriad of sports, vacations, hobbies and adventures we enjoyed together, including skiing, golfing, hiking, badminton, tennis and of course the latest craze of pickleball! Gerry had two particularly favourite pastimes. The first was to research wine and organize tasting and pairing evenings with his family. The second was to set up the puzzle table at the cottage, where he had a second seat at the ready, welcoming anyone who wished to join in. Between cottaging, international travel, attending his children’s educational and sporting events, and dedicating himself to growing one of the most successful Canadian distribution businesses, it is easy to conclude that he enjoyed the fullest of lives.
elevated D927A We will honour Gerry’s character by embracing the principles and values he embodied – independence, education, tenacity, ethics, integrity, loyalty and for those who knew him well, a seemingly endless depth of logic, stoicism and clever wit.
