Richard & Leanna Bonneau & Family - Abbotsford, BC: My uncle will always be in my thoughts each time I see or have a "Coke".  Tis for he and my father, that I have the same love for "The Real Thing". God Bless. Richard Bonneau

Marianne Meacher - Moose Jaw, SK: George - I am sooo saddened to hear of your loss.  I know that Gerry was someone very special to you and he was very fortunate to have you to care for him.  I will miss our bi-monthly visits and hearing him tell you "George, if only I had been born 40 years earlier!"  or "We have to have donuts with our tea, and sometimes, George even sneaks two". He was always able to bring a smile to my face.  You are in my thoughts at this tough time.

Ron Waldman & Family - Saskatoon, SK: It is with great sadness that I and members of my family have learned of Gerry Boucher passing.  We were comforted to know that he will again rejoin his beloved Annette in the thereafter.  May they both rest forever in the hands of God. Gerry worked alongside my late Father, Harold Waldman, in the Coca-Cola business for most of his career.  During that time and with the help of their many colleagues, they managed to build one of Canada's largest and most successful soft drink franchises, one bottle at a time, one customer at a time. My experience with Gerry was marked with his abiding love, friendship and pride.  He taught and encouraged me so much, I simply don't know where to begin . . . except to say, thank you old friend and God speed.
