Gerard Joseph Lizotte “Gerry”, a resident of Chatham, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 4, 2022 at Chatham Kent Health Alliance at the age of 86.  He was born October 29, 1935 in Ville Saint-Pierre, Quebec. Son of Gerard and Marie (Ducedre) Lizotte. Brother of Michael Lizotte (Marielle) and Richard Lizotte (Evangeline). Also survived by nephews Trevor Lizotte (Tanya), Timothy Lizotte (Katie), and Matthew Lizotte (Jenny). Earlier in life Gerry trained as a Tele-Communications Officer with The Royal Canadian Air Force and later worked with the Marconi Company. Eventually he moved to work in the Camera Retail Industry. His love of photography lead him to capture every lighthouse on the Great Lakes as well as many ghost towns as points of interest. Another passion for Gerry was anything and everything Bluegrass. A treasured photo of Gerry’s was of him meeting Bluegrass legend Bill Munro. Gerry loved British comedy and cross word puzzles but many hours were spent between Bluegrass concerts, Camera Club, and with William Street Café coffee buddies. Gerry always thought highly of the work of the WarAmps and would appreciate any donation in his memory being directed to them. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
