Our deepest heart felt condolences go our to Barbara and Lia and Luc.

 
We had the pleasure of working with Jerry in Calgary for 4 days in November 2007 and meeting his wife Barbara.
Jerry greatly helped open doors that were tightly closed shut in Alberta!
Thank you Jerry you will be sadly missed but never forgotten!

Jerry joined the LEAP Board of Directors on February 21, 2008.

"We've now fixed a date for March 6 at 11:00 a.m. for the memorial
service, which will be held at Boal Chapel, First Memorial Funeral
Service, 1505 Lillouet Road, North Vancouver, with a reception from
1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Bistro Chez Michel, 224 West Esplanade,
North Vancouver.

To make things easier for those who are planning to come, there is a
block booking under the name "Paradis Memorial" at the Lonsdale Quay
Hotel, at a rate of $99.99 per night, for Friday and Saturday nights.
We've blocked off ten rooms but if we go over our number and they
have more rooms available, they will continue to offer the rate.
Please call them direct at  604-986-6111 before Friday, February 26 to
book your room.

Those arriving by plane can take the Canada Line to the Seabus, and
the hotel is at the Quay on the North Vancouver side (journey time
approx. 45 min). So you don't need to rent a car while you're here.
We'll have limos picking everybody up and taking them to the service,
and then to the reception, which is just 1 block from the hotel.

For those arriving by car, unfortunately, there is a $10.00/day parking fee.

The obituary will run in tomorrow's Vancouver Sun. But it can also
be accessed online at remembering.ca.

Thank you to all of you for your calls and emails. We appreciate all the love.

Barbara and Lia and Luc"
