“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory no one can steal."
My family and close friends know about my special relationship with my grandfather.
I knew his passing was near. But it doesn’t make the heartbreak a whole lot easier.
Gerry O’Neill was larger than life. He had a profound impact on so many people that he connected with. Gerry’s warmth, talent, insight, and charm were, to use one of his favourite words, magic. Truly magic.
Gerry taught me lots about humanity and about life. He lived fully. He loved deeply. My memories with him are plentiful and powerful. I am so thankful for that.
We will miss you, Granda Gerry.

My heart is saddened to hear this news of Gerry. Many days and many more nights we chatted about music, family, and then more music when he lived in St. John's and Chateauguay, QC. I will fondly remembers those cherished occasions. May his musical spirit soar. To Linda, Desi, Paula, Gerry, Ciaran and Sue, we both offer our sincerest sympathies to you and your families. Rest well now Gerry.
