Gerard with second common-law wife, Florence Kirby. No children from this union
Gerard previously lived with Theresa Beauchamp with whom he had three children, Linda, Paul and Rick. Gerard was a truck and then taxi driver. I heard that he became injured as a result of a robery which left him partially paralyzed.

Theresa (Beauchamp) Nadeau
1924-1983
I'm thinking about you Mom
I just wanted you to know
But then you're thought of often
Because I love you so.
I always look forward to seeing you
The special times we have
It's nice to sit and talk with you
Or hear your hearty laugh.
You are so very thoughtful
You always do your best
To have a precious Mom like you
I know I'm truly blest.
I thank our Father in heaven
For my Mom who loves me so
I'm thinking about you Mom
I just wanted you to know.
Linda 1982 (written to Mom when she was
in hospital for surgery)

"This photo is of Theresa holding baby Rick in 1960. Times were hard then and it was shortly after this that Theresa and the 3 children left Gerard. It's unfortunate that alcohol can destroy homes and lives." (Quoted and posted with permission from Linda)

Theresa's visit to Stratton after her seperation from Gerard in 1963
Linda's update (4/25/2004)
Here is my update:
Gerard and Theresa lived common-law for about 12 years I think. I'm not sure when they actually moved in together, but I was born in 1949.
(My mom had been previously married and the man had left her and disappeared so I guess she couldn't legally get a divorce.)
Children:
Linda Marie Nadeau - born July 5, 1949,
Paul Gerald - born Aug. 15,1956
Rick Joseph - born Aug 16, 1960.
(better double check on those middle names for the guys)
(He married Florence Kirby, April 8, 1970 (I think).
Linda & Leo Landriault
(Address and other sensitive information scratched by Richard)
Children:
Lisa born Aug 12, 1974
Lora - born April 10, 1980
Thanks Richard,
Linda Nadeau Landriault
