Obituary for Gerald Emond

Gerald  Emond
With heavy hearts we say goodbye, for now, to our loving Gerry, who passed away peacefully on Wednesday November 12th, 2014 at the age of 69. Dear husband of Claudette Emond (nee Martel). Beloved father of Tina (Steffen Apperloo) of Smithers, BC and Julie (Michael Vorano) of Timmins. Cherished grandfather of Zachary, Jaden, and Levi (Tina) and Jingles the dog (Julie).
Brother of Annette (late Raoul Paquin) of Kapuskasing, Fernande (Rheal Lefebvre), Lucienne (Jean-Claude Laurin), Lucette (Armand Leblanc), Huguette (Gaston Hamelin), Jean-Paul (Therese), and Jean-Louis, all of Timmins. Brother-in-law of Roger Martel (Kim) of Timmins, Christine Cousineau (Jean), Stella Joly (Rick) of Sudbury. Gerry is also survived my many nieces and nephews. Gerry was predeceased by his parents Corinne and Eroy, his brother Royal and his sister Estelle.
Gerry was born and raised in Timmins. While starting out in his career as an electrician in the late sixties, a hairdresser who worked alongside his sister Huguette caught his eye. After a brief courtship, he married Claudette and they built a life together over 43 years. After the arrival of their two girls, Gerry worked as an electrician at the Kidd Creek Mine Site until his retirement in 2002. Gerry was great at just about anything he put his mind to. He had a knack for finding a better, quicker way of accomplishing many a task by creating ingenious templates or guides. Gerry was a terrific mechanic and carpenter, always tinkering on the family vehicle or doing various upgrades around the house. He also helped his girls with numerous projects over the years. He loved the outdoors, and went on many camping trips and adventures with his family. Gerry was a family man who loved his girls. He was a protective dad, watching over his girls as they grew into young women. He was proud of their accomplishments and happy with the husbands they chose to build their lives with; often referring to both of them as his “#1 son-in-law”. Gerry loved playing practical jokes on people and his heartwarming, yet disapproving, “tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk” will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.
A memorial service will be held at 12 pm on Tuesday November 18, 2014 in the funeral home chapel. A reception will follow in the Lessard-Stephens Reception Centre. The Family will receive friends on Tuesday November 18 from 10 am-12 pm at
