Dear Saranne and Jim Having known Gord for 50+ years, we know what a wonderful man he was. We met your family at the air force base at Centralia and our families have stayed in touch ever since. He was a very caring and loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He will be missed by all who knew him. He will now make up the fourth for the card games that your parents and ours used to play. They will all be reunited in Heaven. Hoping that will give you a little peace and comfort. With our Deepest and Most Heartfelt Sympathy Joan and Brenda

I am sorry to hear of Gord's passing. He was a wonderful man. I have had the pleasure to clean his home for 4 years (Sparkles). It saddens me to think that I will not be seeing his smile again. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of sorrow. Cindy
