I would first like to express my deepest sympathy to Karen, Nathan and Amelia. Also, to Roger, Celia, Brenda, my beloved Kevin and Anne and their families. Gordon will be deeply missed, and WE will treasure the memories forever. He loved you all very much. Gordon has been more than a Brother-in-law, he was my brother for 23 years, he made me feel like I was always part of the family. He greatest Uncle to Joshua and Jacob. They and we always learned something whether about the garden, fishing, smoking fish, cars, Gordon was full of knowledge. Gordon loved life, his family and friends. I will miss his laugh and the "Brother Love" of him and Kevin, his spirit will always be present and in our HEARTS forever. With all my Love, Brenda

It has taken me awhile to be able to write this. Even though my heart is broken and I have lost my protector here on earth, I know he is in a better place now and that he is still and always will watch out for me. I love you brother.
Karen, Nathan and Amelia: I can't tell you how sad I am for this loss but Randy and I and the kids will be here if you ever need us.

G - Gardening was one of his favorite things to do.
O - Oldest son of Roger and Celia.
R - Rose up at the crack of dawn to go fishing and "look for treasures."
D - Devoted fan of the Patriots!
O - Obstinate at times, but that's what kept him going through
difficult days.
N - Nathan and Amelia were loved by their Dad!
I will miss my brother greatly, but I take comfort in knowing he no longer suffers. We have lots of memories to keep him close to our hearts forever.
Love, Brenda (Robert, Jen & Chris)
