I tried to brush it off and act like I didn't feel anything but I just can't

Rest in Peace papa, I love you for ever and always and I'm glad you're not hurting anymore, the bravest, most harding working, stubborn yet prideful man I had ever had the pleasure of knowing and loving. When it felt like no one else wanted me, or could handle my bull shit anymore, it was you who told me to come home.

Love you papa thank you for everything

My poor baby lost his grandpa and I lost an x (Still loved) in-law. What is great is that even after 24 years was always welcomed into their home any time and definitely always invited for Sunday dinner. Gerry was always there when I needed him for years my car broke down or needed a boost he was there. Ever needed any parts from nappa he would order in for me. Which he worked for over 40 years. My so has lived there for years and I cant thank them enough for helping take care of my son. Always welcomed him in. I can remember Gerry holding Jason as a baby in his chair both passed out. I remember when Gerry high fives Josh for that one special time (inside story) lol I will send my love and prayers to the Davis family to Donna (nan ) Josh (amy), Jeff, Jessie and my baby Jason if you need anything please let me know.

Love you all

Dear Dad,

From the moment we met you accepted me into your family. You and mom made me feel so comfortable and like I had always been here.

You were such a great husband, father and grandfather.

I will never forget your hugs and your humor. I will always keep you in my heart. I'm sorry you have to miss our wedding but you will be there in spirit.

I am so happy that I got a chance to spend so much time with you before you had to go. Thank you so much for sharing your son and your family with me. Love you!

To Mom, Donna Davis

My heart hurts for you. I can't imagine the pain of losing someone you've loved for so long. I am so proud of how you handled everything. You are such a strong woman and I would be proud to be half the woman you are.

To my hubby Jeff Davis ,

No words could describe how proud I am to be marrying such a caring and strong man. You have gone above and beyond to be a strong tower for your mama and a comfort and help for your dad. I hope that I can be just as good for my parents when they need me. You are an amazing man and such a grateful son. I know your dad would be so proud of you for growing into such a sweet loving man.

Last but not least, Jessie Davis Josh Davis and Amy Windsor-Varadi . Thank you so much for allowing me to share in celebrating the life of your daddy. I appreciate all of you for accepting me. You all did so well respecting what dad wanted and I know he would be proud of all of you.

Rest easy Daddio. Love you ❤️

We send our deepest condolences to Gerry's family. He was our trusted counter person at NAPA. If my husband sent me I was told to speak to Gerry only, he will be missed.

I will always remember Gerry as being "one of the guys." May 24 weekend, we would camp in the back yard, and there was Gerry, having a beer with us 19 year olds. He would tease, and tell jokes, with all of us.

Every time Josh and Jeff's band played, it never failed, Gerry and Donna were there. Gerry, having the biggest smile, saying "Come sit; have a beer!" Even though he was a father, I always viewed him as one of us... a friend.

aw Donna im so sorry for your loss please if i can do anything let me know sending my prayers and your in my thoughts at this time so sorry xo

I will never forget the kindness, generosity, and open arms that Gerry offered at his home. For 3 years. I spent more time at Gerry and Donna's than I spent at home. Like most of us who spent alot of time there, It was a second family. A place to feel safe, loved , and apart of a brotherhood of sorts. I never once heard Gerry complain about too many kids in the house, or we are feeding to many mouths. He welcomed all all us in as if his own. Gerry is a great man, and a great example of a hard working, loving, family man. You will be forever remembered.

Q: What will you never forget about Gerald?

A: I (Jason F. ) had the privelage to work along side Gerry for a number of years at the Brantford Napa and i will never forget all the laughs and jokes we shared as the hours ticked by each day. The hardest i saw Gerry laugh was a Saturday 2 years ago just before Halloween we worked together. I decided to wear my Mexican wrestling mask to work and had it on sitting in the parking lot waiting for Gerry to show up. I have never seen a grown man laugh so hard. Tears streaming down his face. To this day i chuckle remembering this great time with him and all the ZaZa's pizza we ate. Gonna miss you my friend. It was a pleasure knowing you and learning from the best in the industry. Thank you Gerry, rest well my friend, until we meet again.

He was a great man and a good friend. Always asked for him when I call NAPA. I remember him from back when he and his fellow coworkers used to hold these little gathering at the UAP store on West St. He was a fun person to talk too. He will be sadly missed by everyone. My condolences to his family and friends.

Q: How would you describe Gerald to someone who had never met them?

A: Gerry Opened his home To like 6-7 of his sons friends. I was one of them and we spent almost every day at their place. Gerry opened his home to us and never seemed to complain and he always took the time to talk with us and make us feel welcome. Gerry and His Wife Donna treated all of us like we were their kids, we slept there, ate there and even got Christmas presents from them. This was during my High School years so having Gerrys place to go to meant Keeping me from getting into REAL trouble out on the street. i will forever remember Gerry and his Generosity. He was a great Man and he will be missed.

I had the privilege of being part of the wedding party - and also to welcome Gerry into the family. He was the one and only one to EVER get me to eat Duck - told him I thought it would be yuk before - during and after. Oh dear that was a fun night.
