Garry Derochie

Peacefully, with his family by his side, on October 1st, 2023, at Cornwall Hospice, at the age of 75. Beloved husband of the late Mrs. Nora Derochie (née Carmody). Loving father of Jennifer Derochie (Hugh) of Peterborough, and Kevin Derochie (Frances) of St. Andrews West. Cherished and proud grandfather of Emma and Gabriella. Dear brother of Karen Senecal (late Victor), Lynn Molinaro (John) and Brenda Shaw (Douglas). Predeceased by his parents Albert and Dora Derochie (née Miron).

Garry joined the Royal Canadian Navy directly out of high school, a career that took him to exotic destinations, such as the Arctic Circle. After two years in the Navy, he was sworn in as a Mississauga police officer and soon became a member of the Peel Regional Police Force. In 1976, he returned to Cornwall and joined the Cornwall Police Department. After four successful decades in policing, Garry retired as Staff Sargent from the Cornwall Police Service in 2013.
