Gerald Harris Vise

Nov. 2, 1936 - Oct. 29, 2016

Deeply loved partner of Cheryl Douglas, fond friend of Patrick, the beagle,
and Whites, the cat, loving "Unc" to nephews, Bernie and Jon Lightman and niece, E.J. Lightman
who have ever remembered how, as children, they were enchanted to be led through
Toronto's forested ravines in search of imaginary little beings he named Ooglies.   
Unc took pleasure in more recent times in the accomplishments of his
great nieces, Jean, Romy, Sari and Ilanna and great nephews, Matthew and Jordie.

Gerry was a professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Toronto
and, later, in the Social Sciences Division at York University. 
He was a gifted and innovative teacher who loved his work. 
Though his later retirement years have been marred by ill health,
he took pleasurein books, music, his animals and friends,
and put together two small, delightful collections of his poems.   

The family would like to acknowledge with much gratitude the kind and considerate care
providedby doctors Helen Cluett and Sara Le Blanc and all the rest of the staff
at the Sandbanks Medical Clinic.
