Gerard "Gerald" St. Pierre
May 31, 1920 — April 13, 2013
RICHFORD - Gerard H. Gerald St. Pierre, age 92, husband of the late Geraldine St. Pierre (ne Currier), passed away Saturday evening, April 13th, 2013, in his home with his family at his side.
He was born on May 31st, 1920 in Frelighsburg, Quebec, to Henri & Ada St. Pierre (ne Sorrell), the fourth of their ten children.
Gerald moved to Richford from Abercorn, Quebec in 1952, where he worked for Atlas Plywood before purchasing a farm on the Jay Road in 1956. He dedicated himself there to working the land he had earned, becoming renowned for his temperance, patience, and an unwavering devotion to his family. After his retirement from farming, Gerald spent winters with his wife in Florida and continued to do so for many years after her passing. He found the greatest joy in simple things; a decent breakfast, conversing with friends and family (or strangers), going for a long country drive, and above all else hard, honest labor. Splitting firewood was a favorite pastime, which he kept up well into his 80s.
He is survived by two children and their spouses; daughter Paulette & her husband Maurice Legault, and son Robert & his wife Kathryn (ne Taylor). He is also survived by four grandchildren; Michelle Legault & her husband Jake Webster, and Anthony, Bridgette, and Christopher St. Pierre. Gerald was predeceased by his wife, Geraldine, and his granddaughter, Suzanne Legault.
