In 1947 Gerry married Gabrielle (Gail) Goulet and they became the parents of six children: Charles is an engineer with Hydro and lives in Montreal ; Margaret ( born in PEI in 1950) works with Civil Service and lives in Gatineau, P.Q. ; Rosemary also works with the Civil Service and lives in Ottawa; David works with building supplies and lives in Embrum, Ontario ; Lucy works with Civil Service and lives in Orleans, Ontario . Paul is a bank manager and lives in Aylmer , P.Q ,; Gerry notes that a significant occurrence in his life, taking second place to his marriage to Gail and the births of their children, has been his work on a PHD which was completed with the exception of the thesis. This was thwarted when someone else published in his area of research. His interest in The Co-operative Housing movement was demonstrated by the building of a house in cooperation with 33 others and writing a manual for co-op builders. Promoting Co-op Housing has been an enjoyable experience which he continues to treasure. Now with 20 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren Gerry has a full time job being patriarch of a growing dynasty. Gerry retired in 1989 and spends his winters in Florida avoiding the winter snows and playing golf. Other enjoyable activities include working with his parish (1954-1982) in Aylmer , P.Q. where he and Gail built their Co-op house. They have since sold this home to their son. His recollections of St. Dunstan's include becoming friends with Brendan and Leah (Brothers) O 'Grady, visiting the North Shore every Sunday in the summer of 1950, and being a professor and student at the same time. He especially enjoyed Professor O' Grady 's courses and still keeps in contact with the O 'Gradys. Gerry comments that he and Gail still enjoy visits to Prince Edward Island and have visited as recently as 1996.
