We regret to advise of the death of Firefighter Leading Aircraftman Gerry Lindsay Pickett of Wasaga Beach ON, on 30 September 2026 at age 83.
Born on Fair Island NL, Gerry joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at a young age as a Crash Rescue Firefighter. His career took him across Canada including Chatham NB and Bagotville QC and led to his becoming the Fire Chief for the US Navy Base in Argentia and then Fire Marshal in Iqaluit NU, where he retired. He later moved to Wasaga Beach ON. Gerry gave many years of dedicated service to the Lions Club, including involvement at the provincial level.
In keeping with Gerry’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service was held in the chapel of the Henry Walser Funeral Home. As expressions of sympathy, donations to Innisfree House would be appreciated by the family. Online condolences can be sent to the funeral home.
