    I am the only one left now who knew Jimmy from the beginning. My brother and I grew up on Lansdowne Avenue in Toronto. Many hours were spent at the frontroom window watching streetcars screech out of the Car Barns across the road while pretending to be streetcar drivers. I vividly remember having my Saturday morning sleep-ins interupted by Jimmy watching noisey cartoons in the next room and how I hated having my little brother tag along with me to the Saturday afternoon Matinees. Jimmy and I spent every summer at our cottage in Willow Beach and I’m sure that is where he acquired his love of cottaging.Happily, when we had families of our own, we all spent every Christmas and special time together. One year I bought Jimmy a deed for his own star from the Astological Society. Needing to name the Star for the certificate – I called it “JIM GERRIE FOREVER””. So now I like to think he’s up there looking down on all of us. Jimmy’s selflessness and courage in deciding to fight his Cancer

    Kathy and family, we are saddened to learn of the passing of Jim. Our summers at “Nabanabanobia”” were highlighted by the smiles and waves of our “”neighbours in the bay”” out for the post dinner boat tour
