I was just listening to 'We May Never Pass This Way Again' by Seals and Crofts. I cannot hear this song without thinking of Jerry. It was one of the many songs he performed in ther early 80s, first with Zig Askerski (sp) and later with Bob Pastrick. My buddy and I would catch their set at Sorrento's in Winnipeg and Jerry would always come and visit during their breaks. Not only was he supremely talented but so generous with his time and energy. I was saddened to learn of his untimely passing. Condolences to his family and friend. Jerry was a very special man.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Gerry's family at this time. Gerry's gift in the classroom was evident and he had a positive impact on our daughter as her grade two teacher but especially as her grade five teacher. Thank you Gerry, you will be missed.

MY previous message of condolence written a couple of minutes ago disappeared into thin air and so I will leave this brief message in its place.
Gerry, you were a true friend and a brother and I know that your passing leaves a deep void in the lives of all that knew you.

Lise and family, I am so sorry for your loss.
I was a student of Monsieur McNair's. He was a wonderful teacher and made a huge impact on my life.
He used his guitar to build our confidence and give us the gift of music. To this day "More than Words" is one of my favorite songs and I started teaching my children "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S" this year.
Throughout the two years with him, he gave me the encouragement, confidence and support to believe in myself. More importantly, I left his class realizing that I belonged.
I can only imagine the amazing things he went on to do after teaching. The world lost an amazing person and gained a blessed angel.
I will always remember Monsieur McNair and am so grateful to have known him.

My sincere sympathies to the entire McNair Family. Ger was a great musician as well and even as far back as high school was very well liked. He could be found on the front lawn of College St Boniface playing his guitar and socializing. I know that he will be sadly missed by all who were close to him.

Gerry et moi avons suivi plusieurs cours ensemble, d'abord envers le baccalauréat en éducation et ensuite envers les études du 2e cycle en counseling. Nous avons beaucoup ri tout en travaillant très fort pour arriver à notre but commun. Gerry était un homme spécial qui se démarquait par son attitude positive, son énergie incessante et une empathie pour tous. Il faisait preuve de grande générosité sans s’attendre à être gratifié ou reconnu. La compassion qu'il a démontrée aux communautés éloignées où il a œuvré sont enrichies et la clientèle gagnante avec les services qu'il leur a fournis. Je n’ai aucun doute que la flamme qui l’animait sera toujours présente auprès de tous ceux qui l’ont côtoyé, mais surtout auprès sa famille qui lui était tellement précieuse. Je vous offre toutes mes condoléances.

Lise and Family. We want to offer our sincere condolences and we are very sorry for your extreme loss. Gerry had a huge impact in our community and was very much loved and appreciated by the community and Staff at the Ginew Wellness Center. We were all shocked, saddened and in a state of unbelief when we heard of his passing. He will be greatly missed in many Manitoba First Nations. His legacy will live on in the lives he helped change in many communities. Gerry was a great man, one of kind, a very loving compassionate soul who had the gift of connecting with everybody and making them feel special, at ease and wanting to do life with him. In your grief remember that he was loved by many and his life had a huge impact all across Manitoba.
