DERUSHA, Gerald (Joe) Stanley

Gerald (Joe) Stanley Derusha, 92 years of age, passed away on November 19, 2022.   Joe was formerly of Beebe, Qc but lived the last 8 years in Lennoxville, Qc.

Joe was born in Rock Island, Qc on October 14, 1930, to Stanley Derusha and Margaret Bulmer.

He met and married his wife, Mildred White in 1949 and together they have 3 children: Garry (Sylvie), Debra (Jeffrey), Terry (Sue) . In addition, Joe is survived by his grandchildren: Mark (Karine), Kathleen, Nicholas, and Taylor (Zachary) as well as his beautiful great-grandchildren Audrey and Sophie.

Joe and Mildred (Millie) together started a business aptly named Derusha Supply in 1978 and laid the foundation for what the business has become today; a third-generation expert in the Canadian stone industry. During this time, Joe built a reputation as a specialist in his trade. He gladly shared his knowledge and was highly respected and sought after within the field. Joe also loved spending time in the great outdoors: hunting, fishing, boating, golfing. And when time permitted, he volunteered with the Beebe fire department and the Boundary Rotary Club, where he served a term as President. He and Millie together were active, supportive members of the Anglican Christ Church in Stanstead.

The funeral service will be held at a later date in the Spring. Should anyone wish to make a memorial donation, please consider the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, Anglican Christ Church Stanstead and the Boundary Rotary Club in Stanstead.

Derusha Family

I am sorry to hear of Jo's passing, my sympathies to his family. Joe and I were in Rotary together and he served as president the year after me. He had to take the job early as I was diagnosed with cancer at the start of my year. He served until I had recovered from surgery and he and Millie had driven down to Dartmouth and stayed with my wife while I had my surgery. I will never forget their kindness to myself and my wife. My deepest sympathies to you all.
