Gerald Herbert Loach, better known to us all as Joe, was born
January 26, 1930 in Lennoxville, Quebec, and grew up with four siblings Virginia, Grace, Len and Pat.
In 1949, Joe married the love of his life and his best friend,
Mary Dorothy Irene Crandall, better known as Dotty. Dotty predeceased Joe in 1997. In the late 1950’s, Joe and Dot headed west and settled in Dawson Creek in the early 1960’s.
They purchased a house on 95th Avenue where they raised their 6 children Stan, Linda, Cathy, Kelly, Dick and Fred. Joe passed away on October 24, 2014. The family will always be grateful for those who assisted Joe over the past few years with their friendship and help. He will be missed by all.
A funeral service was held on October 30, 2014 at the Bergeron Funeral Chapel in Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Interment followed in the Brookside Cemetery.
For those that wish to make a donation in memory of Joe, Step Up and Ride in
Dawson Creek has been a very helpful service for Joe and the local community by providing much needed transportation.
The family wishes to express their gratitude and sincere thanks to everyone for your many acts of kindness, comfort, cards, flowers and food provided to us in our time of bereavement.
