Gerald JAMESON

JAMESON, Gerald (Gerry) December 2, 1933 November 15, 2008 After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Gerry passed away peacefully at home with his loving wife Betty by his side along with their son Michael and sister-in-law Janice Knutson. Born and raised in Vancouver BC, Gerry & his family moved to Sooke in 1969 where he worked at the Victoria Coast Guard Station until his retirement in 1991. Among his other accomplishments, Gerry served his community as a Sooke Volunteer Fireman for 25 years and was also a loyal associate member of the Legion for the past 26 years. With great sadness in our hearts, Gerry will be forever remembered as a marvellous husband, fantastic father and a wonderful friend. Gerry is survived by his wife of 44 years Betty, son Michael (Sarah, Devon & Austin), brother Frank, sister Margaret, sister-inlaw Janice Knutson, the Patterson family (Jill, Alex, Ben, Chris, Gord) and many other close friends.
