Dear Geraldine and Family: I was so sorry and saddend to hear of Gerry's passing. I have fond memories of being woken up on Sunday mornings by those canuck boys playing music with my dad and company. I always admired the two of you. Being in both your presence was truly a gift to cherish always. My thoughts and prayers to you all.

I was so sorry to hear of Gerry's passing. He was a wonderful fiddler. I never forgot hearing him at Weiser many, many years ago. I pray that the love of family and friends will help ease the pain of his passing.

Dear Geraldine and Family; Vivian and I were saddened to hear of Gerry's passing. Gerry was one of our country's fiddling icons. His name and his fiddling were well known and well respected. I thoroughly enjoyed Gerry Style and I learned many of his tunes. I have all of his recordings which I treasure. At the fiddle jam in St Antoine NB last Monday, several of Gerry's compositions were played in memory of Gerry. I know Gerry's music will live

Dear Geraldine and Family; On behalf of the members of the New Brunswick Country Music Hall of Fame I extend our sincere sympathies to you and your family. We have all lost a fine musician and a friend. Gerry's induction to the Hall of Fame was one of the special events for our Association with so many of his family and friends traveling great distances to honour Gerry at that event. A donation to the Alzheimer's Foundation will be made in memory of Gerry. Ivan Hicks, President NBCMHF

Dear Robichaud Family: Please let me begin by saying that I am so deeply sorry for your loss! My name is Monique Mola, a.k.a. Monique Leger, daughter of Rose and Zoel Leger. Back in the day, I was a step dancer. I have danced and competed at the French Club in Waltham many times. And even though I was competing against his very own extremely talented daughter, Sandra (whom I so looked up to), he was still willing play for
