Gerald Baker

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gerald J Baker. Gerald was born in Elliston, NL on October 18, 1934 and passed away peacefully at home in Ottawa, ON with family by his side on June 9, 2022.

Gerald was known for his incredible passion for dancing. He shared this passion by teaching others and playing the music for many events held at his retirement residence. He also loved to visit Newfoundland every year with Veronica.

Gerald shared a special relationship with his grandchild Andrew.  They enjoyed being together whether it be just talking and laughing or Gerald trying to teach Andrew to golf.  Time together was always memorable.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving spouse Veronica, his children Gary (Pam), Tami (Dennis), Kia (Jen), Brian (Nancy), stepchildren Rose, Pat, Johnny, Ann, his grandchildren Tisha, Alex, Shannon, Christine, James, Megan, Katie, Ryan, Stephanie, Andrew and great grandchildren Emma and Sasha as well as extended family and friends he made during his life.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Gerald can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
