Gelas married Anne Marie on December 2, 1977. In 1980, they welcomed their son, Troy\u2026their pride and joy. Gelas was a truly devoted father\u2026proud and always present; his life was centered around Troy. He took great interest in Troy\u2019s passion for hockey, both as a player and later in life as a coach, always encouraging his dreams.<\/p>\n
For 34 years, Gelas worked at Dean Evan\u2019s Coal Mine until his career was unfortunately cut short due to an accident. He worked for John Chisholm for 4 years after that.<\/p>\n
He found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Gelas loved watching hockey and golf, listening to country music; especially songs by Robert Bouchard and Serge Caissie. He also enjoyed taking his ATV out on the trails.<\/p>\n
Gelas had a special place in his heart for children and enjoyed visits from his grand nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s friends were always quick to tease Gelas, but he was quick with a witty comeback. His dry sense of humor always made everyone laugh.<\/p>\n
Gelas is survived by his wife, Anne Marie; son, Troy; and brothers, Gary, Eric, and Wayne.<\/p>\n
Funeral service will be held on Monday, July 28, 2025 at 10:30 am in St. Peter\u2019s Church, Cheticamp with Deacon Gerald LeBlanc officiating. Burial will follow in the parish cemetery.<\/p>\n
