Gerald “Gerry” F. Mills passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Friday, June 8, 2012 in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, NS at the age of 79, following a struggle with cancer. Born in Dartmouth, NS on April 20, 1933, he was the son of the late Douglas and Geraldine (Whebby) Mills. A Staff Sgt. with the RCMP serving most of his career in Newfoundland and Labrador, he retired to Cambridge, NS in 1990. Gerry remained active during retirement through his involvement with Citizen’s Patrol, tending his vegetable garden, travelling and spending time with his dogs. He valued all long-standing friendships as well as the relationships he built with his neighbours and those in the community. Gerry was always able to uncover a common connection with people he encountered. He often attributed the continued quality of his life to his participation in the fitness program for heart patients at the Valley Regional Hospital and for this, the family is grateful. He is survived by his wife, Helen (Furlotte) of Dalhousie, NB; sisters, Anna Howlett (Edward) of Corner Brook, NL; Claire Kariker (Dave) of Arkansas, USA; children, Sally (Colin) Goff, Peter (Sheila) and Pamela (Terry Boswell); grandchildren, Shane, Dana Marie, Brad, and Stacy; great grandchildren.
