I have fond memories of Gord from Transcona Elementary School and after, although Gord went to Rosemont and then Luther and I went to Wascana and then Martin. I remember Gord and I used to do this thing where one of us would sing "Day and Night" and the other would respond "Night and Day", using what we thought were soulful voices and then descending into silliness. I remember playing Chumbo in the Atchison's yard, wearing Mr. Atchison's work clothes and winter coats, and at the time that seemed like the most fun ever. And I remember that 67 Cougar that caught on fire and burned near Regent Pool, the hot wheels sinking into the pavement. I don't think I had seen Gord for some time before that and I know I didn't ever see him after. But I am delighted to learn that Bernie kept in touch with Gord, because when I first met them they were best friends, and it's nice to know that that friendship continued. I am truly saddened to hear this about Gord and his struggles. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his family and his close friends.

To all of the Atchison Family:
I remember when Gordy came from Canada to the States in '76, when he lived with me and Edwin with his motorcycle, speedos, bib overalls and bandanas. Gordy was the pesty, fun loving brother that I didn’t have. I can remember thru the decades our celebrations of marriage, children being born, parties and family gatherings, kids growing up, baseball, swimming and parties, these memories are fresh in my mind, like they were yesterday. Gina you lighted up Gordy’s life, and became his life, and made him complete. Thanks for taking care of my pesty brother. May he rest in peace. I miss him already…………………

Dear Gina,

There are no words at this time to express the sadness at the loss of a friend. I met Gordon at a bank I worked at and we became friends. My prayers go out to his family. Rest easy in God's arms my friend.

The news is quite simply too hard to comprehend. Every good and descent adjective that one could think of would never begin to describe how wonderful Gordon was. Nor can words describe the pain for those of us who carry on without him in our world. I am forever blessed to have known and called Gordon a good friend for most of my life - the fond memories will sustain me. He is at peace with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and that will sustain us all. Our Prayers are with his family and all who were privileged to know him.

I have many fond memories of Gord. We met at Transcona Elementary School in Regina and were good friends for many years. We last saw him in the early 90's in California and he was the same honest, fun-loving guy that I remembered from our youth. We are heart-broken that he is gone and pray for Gina, the children, his entire family and his many friends.

Many fond memories of hanging out in the Atchison basement during the Rosemont years. Thinking of your family now with understanding.

It goes without saying; Gordon will be sorely missed by those of us who were privileged enough to have lived part of our lives with such a genuine individual. Growing up with his boy's, the Atchison's were (and will always be!) an extended part of our family. We will never forget the fond and loving memories that we shared with Gordon. Hopefully, he can rest a little more peacefully knowing that his son's have too become great men. We'll miss you buddy!

The Jones family on Grey Street shared many fun times with the Atchison clan during our Rosemont years together. Our hearts go out to all Gord's family and many friends as you grieve the tragic loss of this special person.
