SWINDELL,
Gerald
S.
Passed away peacefully at the Veterans' Wing of Sunnybrook and
Women's College Health Sciences Centre in Toronto on July 17,
2003 at the age of 88. Gerry was predeceased by his first wife,
Jean WARRINGTON, in 1947, and by his second wife of more than
40 years, Bettie
BROCKIE, in 1990, and by his sister Elaine,
brother Charles and son-law Andy
CLARK. He is survived by his
three children, Sharon, Gerry and Carol, his granddaughter Christine
MAKI, his sisters Geraldine
REES and Marie
SMITH, his brothers-in-law
Bill BROCKIE and Don
SMITH and several nieces and nephews and
their families.
Although Gerry was born in Grenfell, Saskatchewan and died in
Toronto, he spent most of his life in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A graduate
of the University of Manitoba, Gerry spent his entire business
career with Wood Gundy, joining the firm in 1938 and retiring
as a Vice President and Director in 1974. During the Second World
War he served as a Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Navy. He
was an active and enthusiastic member of the Manitoba Club and
served as its President in 1975 and 1976. He was also the Chairman
of the Board of the Winnipeg Stock Exchange from 1969 to 1972
and was active throughout his business career with a number of
charitable organizations.
For relaxation he enjoyed the company of his wife and their many
good Friends, frequent dinners at Rae and Jerry's, annual trips
to Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Arizona, golf at the St. Charles
Country Club and billiards at the Manitoba Club. Unfortunately,
his retirement years were marred by the debilitating effects
of Paget's Disease and the untimely death of his beloved wife
Bettie. Our thanks to the staff at Deer Lodge Hospital Veterans'
Wing and
We Care in Winnipeg and at Sunnybrook K Wing and Selectcare
in Toronto for all their help in his final years. Although he
moved to Toronto in 1997 to be closer to his children, his heart
always remained in Winnipeg. He returns there now. A graveside
service will be held at Garry Memorial Park, 1291 McGillivray
Blvd., Winnipeg on Tuesday, July 29th at 2: 30 p.m. followed by
a reception at the on site funeral home. In lieu of flowers,
donations to a charity of choice would be greatly appreciated.
