It is with great sadness that I announce the sudden passing of my beloved husband, Gerald Francis Sparrow on Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Gerry was a wonderful husband, father, son and friend.

He was predeceased by his father, Joseph; sister, Noreen in infancy; grandparents, Joseph and Helen Deveaux and Dr. Cecil John and Helen Sparrow.

Gerry will be greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews and friends.
Gerry was an avid sports fan and he especially loved the “Boston Bruins” and could be found in his favourite chair watching the game with Dash.
There will be no service or visitation as per Gerry’s wishes.
