My sympathy to my old neighbours. Gord always had a smile for the girl up the road and in our younger days maybe an ice cream treat. Always enjoyed our chats.

Gord was a true gentleman with a kind and gentle way about him always. I fondly remember many visits at Joan and Gord's lovely home in Lucknow where they always made me feel welcome. Gord, you will be sorely missed by all who knew you. My deepest sorrow is felt for my dearest friend, Barb, and the entire family. May your happy memories bring you comfort and peace.
