We said goodbye today to Gerard (Gerry) Levasseur at a wonderful memorial today at the Blatchford Hangar at Fort Edmonton Park.
Surrounded by family and hundreds friends and emcee’d by long time friend Danny Hooper to a packed house.
It was an afternoon of tears, jokes and wonderful tributes.
The Levasseur family has long been a friend of the Arabian Horse in Canada. Gerry was a past president of CAHR and his daughter Lisa was one of our directors.
If the truth be told, without Gerry and Bob Sproule making the executive decision to purchase two buildings to house the CAHR in the early 90’s, we probably wouldn’t be in existence today.
It’s the funds from the sale of those buildings are what has allowed the CAHR to still be existence.
Gerry will be missed by all those that loved him and the tribute today to a legend in the business community and a great family man was a fitting departure.
