The Halayka Family -
I write to express to the family the sincere condolences of the Patricia’s on the passing of Gerard.
The Regiment remembers Gerald's service, and you and your family I am sure are proud of that service with the PPCLI. His name will be read in this year’s list of the lost when we read that out on November 11th, 2021 in the Sacred Space in Beechwood, the National Military Cemetery, Ottawa. His name will also be listed in the 2021 edition of the Patrician’s Last Post section.
Thank you for obviously supporting and giving meaning to Gerald throughout his life. We are glad that he had a vibrant family and fond memories, especially I would think of quiet lakes and trout.
Should any of Gerald's family want to maintain a connection with the Regiment, a gratis three year Memorial Membership in the PPCLI Association is available. Contact Mr Herb Kenny, the Membership Chairman, at hkenny@shaw.ca, for details.
Thank you all.
Brigadier-General Vince Kennedy (Retired)
Colonel of the Regiment
Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry
