ANDREWS, Gerald Garfield "Jerry" – Age 67 of Guysborough, passed away peacefully in the Guysborough Memorial Hospital on Saturday, July 3, 2021, after a short battle with cancer.
Our father was well known for his ability to fix just about anything. If it could be fixed, Jerry would be the one who could do it. He worked for many years as a mechanic but was truly a jack of all trades. His camp was his haven. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, who was forever telling us about the big one that got away.
He always found a way to put a smile on everyone’s faces. His jokes were endless and always made you laugh. No matter the situation, he always had some advice to give even if you were not looking for it.
The last 27 years of his life were spent with the love of his life, Judy Kontuk. He always had to have her by his side and was lost when she was not around.
He is survived by his common-law partner, Judy, Guysborough; daughters, Crystal, Central West River; Tonia, Guysborough; stepsons, Freddie (Violet), East Tracadie; Bradley (Jess), Trenton; grandchildren, Amber, Marley, Miranda, Jacob, Emma, Willow, Baby Freddy and Lyle-Edgar; great-grandson, Bradley aka "lil Jerry"; brothers, Basil (Catherine), Dartmouth; Tory (Judy), Linwood; sister, Ruth, Guysborough. He was predeceased by his mother, Mary Andrews (nee Long); father, John Henry Andrews; brothers, Clair (Bill), Edwin, Arthur, Wayne; sisters, Mary Alice, Eleanor, Hazel; as well as three siblings in infancy, Theresa, Ronald and Lawrence.
Cremation has taken place. Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Friday, July 9, from St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, Guysborough with Father Callistus Abazie officiating. Burial will follow in the parish cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to The Canadian Cancer Society.
