HENSON, Gerald 'Gerry' Jack Henry

Peacefully at home, after a battle with cancer fought with great courage and strength, Gerry was ushered into the
hands of God on Sunday, February 22, 2009, surrounded by family at the age of 61 years. He was the loving and devoted husband of Pauline (nee Loewen) for 37 years. Beloved and respected father of Les Henson (Mary Ann Robert), Krystena Jorgensen (Bob Whyte) and Joni Henson (John Beadle). Grandpa to Rachel Henson, Eric and Scott Jorgensen (father Chris Jorgensen). Son of the late Jack Henson and Caroline (nee Tregonning) Henson. Brother of
Audrey McLeod (Glenn), Barry (Marsha), Ron (Myrna), Alice Bruce (Phillip) and the late Carolyn Parker (Gary). Son-in-law of the late Henry and Marie Loewen. Brother-in-law of Thomas Loewen (Margaret), Ruth MacInnes (Frank Haywood), Victor Loewen (Lynda Gagnon), David Loewen (Jane), Elisabeth Schloo (Andreas) and Julia Schloo (Daniel). Gerry will be missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends. He was greatly admired by
his staff and colleagues at St. Marys Paper Corp., where he worked as manager and Chief Financial Officer since 1985, a job he loved and took on with devotion. Certified General Accountant, he was past chair of the Sault
Ste. Marie Chapter of CGA Ontario, with whom he served as a volunteer for many years. Family and friends may call at the Northwood Funeral Home (942 Great Northern Road 945-7758) on Friday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00 and in
