Obituary for
Gerald "Ged" Nevin
Passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family at his home on Thursday, September 28, 2017 in his 81st year. Beloved husband and partner of Patricia "Pat" (nee Tinnion) for 56 years. Loved father of Neil (Tracey) and Janet Warner (Brad). Cherished grandfather of Chelsea, Chloe, Brynne and Ian. Dear brother of Joan Emmett, Ron (Madeleine) and Raymond (Dorothy). Predeceased by his siblings Jim, Dennis and June Petrie. Missed also by his many nieces, nephews and countless friends. Ged uprooted his family from England in 1966. He was a dedicated employee of Dofasco for over 25 years and of the Town of Oakville for over 10 years. In retirement, Ged volunteered for the Canadian Cancer Society as well as McNally House Hospice. Ged was a true gentleman's gentleman and one of the most genuine people you could hope to meet. He was more than respected by his colleagues, friends and family and was everyone's friend, father figure and even "grandfather" and will be deeply missed by all. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Andrew's Anglican Church Hall, 7 St. Andrews Avenue, Grimsby on Thursday, October 5, 2017 from 2-5 p.m. If desired, memorial contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society or Salvation Army would be sincerely appreciated by the family.
