Tanya, Dawn, and Karl Terry Kelly forwarded me this link when he stumbled upon the news. Know that you are in our thoughts. I have wonderful memories of Gord's house with all of you, and without you as your dad was nice enough to put me up when I needed to be in London and Tanya wasn't around. I do hope we re-connect and I wish you all the best.
Dear Tanya and Dawn - So sorry to hear this news about your dad, saw notice today (while looking for Tanya on facebook). Sympathy to your entire family from Florida.
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your father. I made his acquaintance through his volunteer leadership as the coordinator of free income tax clinics for lower income London residents. He was a very pleasant, friendly and caring person who freely gave his time to help others. I enjoyed our discussions when he always had a warm smile and clever wit. Please extend my sympathy to the entire family. - J. Edwards

We were saddened to learn of Gord's passing. Gord struggled with health issues during the last few years , but his humour never diminished . He and his stories will be missed at Greenhills. Our sincere sympathy to his family .
I was deeply saddened to learn of Gord's passing. I met Gord at a GAO event and worked with him at many over the last five years. He was really a mentor to me as I worked to gain experience and become qualified as a Rules Official. We often chatted on the phone and he would tell stories from his vast experience showing a fantastic memory. My sincere sympathy to his family at this difficult time. I will miss him but will remember his kindness and friendship.
Mark and I are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and our hearts. Janice
I first met Gord when I came to work at Greenhills; he gave me my on site training as starter and marshal and was a favourite resource and co-worker ever since.

Please accept our condolences on your Dad's passing. We looked forward to chats and laughs before our tee-off at the golf course and often enjoyed his golf advice (stay on the fairway and then put it in the hole).

I was saddened to learn of yet another good friend's passing . I have enjoyed Gordon's friendship for nearly 30 years since the early eighties at Greenhills Golf G.C. where we regularly conversed on any number of topics . His candor , his unique sense of humour , his personal integrity and his love of golf will always be appreciated . My early Sat-Sun games will not be the same .
Deepest regrets to the family of Gord from a friend and past golf partner, fond memories of all the golf together and his stories. Kept in touch by email - Gord will be missed.
