Passed away peacefully at home aged 88 years; Much loved husband of Glenda and dad to Moz, Clea and Jayne, and step father to Selina and Lisa. Loved by grandchildren Alice, Imogen and Elron, and step grandchildren Dominique, Finn, Eowyn and Morgan, and great-grandchildren Ewan, Joni, and Cal, and step-great-grandchild Joziah.

Gerry was an antiquarian bookseller; he opened his first bookshop in North Devon in 1964 and has been trading continuously ever since. His wife Glenda still runs the Junction Bookshop in Llandudno Junction, and although Gerry was retired, he was in the bookshop most days. This year he celebrated 60 years in the book trade, and in over 50 of those years he was involved in organising book fairs. Gerry was very proud to be the founding member of the PBFA (The Provincial Booksellers’ Fairs Association), a not for profit organisation which had its first fair in London in 1972. His idea was to bring the books to the people, and he was very successful with some fairs having to close their doors to the public as too many people came.
Gerry’s approachability, openness, kindness and generosity shone through to all who met him. He was instrumental in supporting and promoting the early bookselling careers of many young aspiring people in the trade.

Gerry will be greatly missed by all his family, friends and colleagues.

The funeral service is to be held at Colwyn Bay Crematorium, Glan Y Wern, Colwyn Bay, LL28 4YL, on Monday 12th February at 2pm.
