September 27, 1943 - January 20, 2025
In loving memory ~
A Legendary Man... In the middle of WWII, Gerry was the first child born to Norman and Phyllis Bomford. Growing up in Somenos, helping his parents raise the younger ones that inevitably came along, provided the fertile training ground that would carry him through his adventures all over the province of BC.
Gerry's colourful life included work as a logger, farmer, and Occupational Safety Officer for WorksafeBC. He became an avid Beekeeper with a lifelong love of horses, dogs, and all creatures great and small. He shared his knowledge, kindness and friendship generously.
Predeceased by his parents, and his wife and lifelong partner, Lynne, Gerry is survived by children: Norm, Dan and Jenni; four grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, as well as all seven of his younger siblings.
The family would like to extend thanks to the remarkably caring, compassionate staff at Cairnsmore Place, Cowichan District Hospital, Dr. Friderichs, Dovehill House, Chemainus Pharmasave, and the Island Health Home Support Team.
A Celebration of Life will be held from 1:00 - 3:00pm on Saturday, May 3, 2025 in the Arbor Lounge of Sands Funeral Chapel Duncan, 187 Trunk Road, Duncan, BC.
