The community is mourning the passing of a longtime businessman.
Gerald K. Tallman passed away peacefully in his home Sunday, following a long battle with cancer.
Gerald started his career in the automotive industry as a youth, and grew to become the founder of his own trucking company Tallman Truck Centre.
In a press release, his company, now known as “Rush Truck Centres”, celebrated his legacy of entrepreneurship, kindness, and generosity.
“His diligence and commitment to helping others ensured his success and in 1970, Tallman opened his own garage and used car lot,” the release said. “In 1973, he became part owner of Kemptville Truck Centre, and shortly after, its sole proprietor. The dealership then grew to nine locations and rebranded to Tallman Truck Centre.”
