Gerald “Jerry” Harvey McCoy

Very sad to hear of Jerry’s passing. As his cousins (children of his auntJoyce Bumstead nee King) , we have fond childhood memories of Jerry from our visits to the farmhouse near Chesley. I remember rafts like Huckleberry Finn’s (Mark Twain) being made to take down the river that flowed beside his childhood home. I am very grateful that Jerry was able to reconnect with us in recent years and that we were able to met June. Our sympathies to her and his children and others who also enjoyed his mischievous smile and good humoured nature.

So very sorry for your loss. Cousin Jerry was a blast when we were younger, many fond memories as I spent a week in the summers on the farm. We often got in trouble but that’s what kids do. Lost touch for several years as I moved out west. Recently met and reminisced at Aunt Evelyn’s and it was great to see him again.
Sadly we never got to see his home and family in Washago.

Dan & Wendy & family.

We are very saddened with the passing of Jerry. He was a good friend and neighbor. Jerry was always smiling and laughing. He always made sure to wave every time we went by his house. Jerry was so kind, funny caring and passionate. Jerry was always by June’s side like two peas in a pod. Condolences too June , the family and all those who knew him. Xoxo
Love always
Ken & Mary

We were very sad to hear of Jerry’s passing. As youngsters Jerry and I spent a great deal of time together, playing on various sports teams, camping, and just generally hanging out together. Great memories as kids going to Keady livestock sales with Jerry and his dad Harv and maybe getting an ice cream cone afterwards. Our condolences to June and family. He will be missed.

Condolences to you June and the family on this very sad news. Jerry was a very good man, and sure will be missed by all.

We were so lucky to have Jerry as part of our family. He always had a smile and laugh that brighten the room. Canada Day celebrations on the front porch were the place to be.
Thank you Jerry for showing my sister years of love and support no matter what laid ahead for both of you. You will be missed.

Dale and I are so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. Our condolences to June and her entire family. Jerry was one of the nicest kindest people we had ever met. He will truly be missed by many. May all of your happy memories get you through this very sad time.

Great memories of growing up with Jerry as my stepfather. I will miss him, and I was hoping to see him again.

I worked with Jerry on many flooring projects. He taught me how to use a ride on sander. He was a very patient, humble and hilarious work friend. I will always think of him when doing this job and be thankful I got the chance to Meet such a character. Rest in peace buddy. You were one of the old school!

We are extremely saddened by the loss of our friend Jerry. We enjoyed our time around the campfire sharing funny stories. We will remember him as a caring friend and loving husband to June. Together with June, Jerry always gave a friendly wave whenever we passed by their home. From Travis, Laura, Owen, Ty and Drew.

Steve and I have fond memories of hanging out with Jerry and June, be it one of their annual Canada Day celebrations or having fish n’chips at a favourite spot in Orillia. Jerry was a kind, soft-spoken man, well-versed in his craft and very much my sister’s soul mate. His humble generous spirit and understated vitality will be profoundly missed by all. Rest in peace, Jerry
