Jerome J. Gilbert Franklin Martin, died unexpectedly on November 24, 2023. He was 82 years old. The family is deeply saddened and shocked by his sudden death. Jerome was born on June 14, 1941 in St. Leonard, New Brunswick and was the youngest of 11 children.
He leaves to mourn his wife of 57 years, Linda Martin (nee Brisebois) and his daughters, Elaine (Danny Whiteman) and Loraine (Salvatore Di Vincenzo). He was adored by his four grandsons: James (Tiffany), Kyle, Joey and Samuel. He was also blessed to be great-grandpa to Lucas and Amelia.
He is survived by two of his sisters, Pauline (late Ralph March) of Pennsylvania and Joanne (Pete Huntress) of Maine. He is also mourned by his sister-in-law, Sandra Trudel. He was an active uncle and stayed connected with his nieces and nephews through the years. He enjoyed all his golfing adventures with his nephews both in Canada and the US. Family was everything to him and he was also a great friend and neighbor. His family is extremely grateful for the help they received from his nephews Danny and Paul, especially in the last years. An extra special thank you goes to his friend, Roger Smythe for always lending a hand.
He was a kind and thoughtful soul and he will be missed and remembered not only by his family, but also numerous friends. Even though he was known to be a little stubborn, he was still someone who was taken home too soon. His family hopes he is enjoying 18 holes of golf daily with those of his buddies who have passed before him. Jerome, everyone you left in this world is sad that you are gone but we are happy that you are home free and painless. We will always love and miss you…until we can meet again.
