Gerald Whale / Chunder - A Good Man Gone

Gerald Whale / Chunder

It is with deep sadness I have the announce that Gerry / Chunder passed away in Milton Keynes Hospital this morning (Wednesday 17th Feb) after a 3 week stay in hospital.

He did test C-19 positive a few days ago but it was his heart and lungs that called time on him.

Anne and his kids are fine as they can be.

There will be no funeral as such as Gerry had no faith and that was his wish - straight to cremation.

In time I will need help to sort Gerry's 'stuff' related to Biodiesel / oil filtration etc but no rush.

Pete

Oh man that is sad news.  Gerry was quite the compassionate soul.  I do hope Anne is OK.

I liked Gerry. Top bloke with a fantastic sense of humour who had time for all who he came in contact with at the BBB's.

RIP Gerry.

Condolances to those left behind.

Jerry enriched the lives of all he met, even though not everyone knew how to take him.

A true gent in many ways.

Very sad news indeed, Rip Gerry you will be missed you ol bugger. I spoke to Anne earlier and she was in reasonable spirit considering the circumstance.

SO so sad to hear he's gone, I was only talking to him a little while ago and he was full of beans. Our phone calls always lasted at least an hour, I'm really going to miss him, so will the wife, he always put a smile on her face when he rang.

My heart goes out to Ann and the children.

A great loss to all who knew him, a sad day.
