In Loving Memory of
Gerald Alphonse Joseph Boisjoli
May 27, 1945 - May 17, 2025
With grief in our hearts and lives we announce that Gerry Boisjoli went to meet his wife and best friend on May 17, 2025 at the age of 79 years.
Gerry, formerly of Barrhead, leaves behind his daughter Loreen Gomes, son-in-law and best friend Mike, grandchildren Talia, Teagan and Tanner. All of whom feel blessed to have been gifted an extra eight months to share in his sadness, laughter and joy before he was called to his true love Elaine who passed away on Sept 18, 2024. Also there to greet him in Heaven were his Dad and Mom Raoul and Alice Boisjoli, his in-laws Peter and Elsie Oskoboiny and brother-in-law Gary Oskoboiny.
His family, of St Albert, will continue to carry on his legacy and memories. He is survived by his siblings Jeanette (Rosaire) Tremblay, Suzanne (Bill) Sawchuk, Diane (Lionel) Aminot, Claude (Aline), Dorothee Davies, Louis (Huguette), Marc (Bonnie), Yves (Carolyn), Lucien (Louise), Gilles, Valerie (Ray) Saindon, Emilie (Scott) Delf. Along with his brother-in-law Danny (Vi) Oskoboiny. Gerry…
Loved life, endlessly optimistic and grateful for every moment. A devout Catholic and proud Knight of Columbus. Loved summer sunshine, relaxing at the lake and took pride in his yard. Best friends with Loreen and Mike, but it was Talia, Teagan and Tanner that brought him true joy. Loved country music, his annual holiday at Big Valley Jamboree and CFCW constantly playing in the background. He was always fun to be around, finding happiness in making others smile and lighting up when he saw a smile on the face of those he loved. He delighted in occasions and celebrations, the highlight being Christmas with family where he could occasionally be seen dressing up as Santa. He cherished moments spent with the people he loved most, often gathered around a good steak dinner cooked by Mike. Everyday, he felt the absence of his soulmate, source of happiness (and his favourite cook). He couldn’t wait to be reunited with her in the special spot she saved for him in Heaven. A great Son, a super Husband, fantastic Dad, caring Brother and Uncle, extraordinary Papa and Friend.
At his request in lieu of a celebration of life, the family asks that you remember him in prayer with joy and loving hearts.
