Lee, I am so sorry to learn of Gordon's passing. While I did not know him, he must have been a wonderful man and truly your soulmate. As you are one of the Fraser clan, I know you will soldier on and make the best of the rest of your life. I am sure that Gordon will be waiting for you at the first tee!

Thinking of you during this difficult time - your old Charleswood friend who is now the grand father of seven. David Saunders

We lived next door to Lee and Gord for over 25 years and we couldn't ask for better neighbour's. Gord and his sense of humor would bring such joy and happiness to our family that we mourn his loss. We looked after their dogs when Lee and Gord went on vacation so often that we thought of them as ours. Our Christmas get together were always filled with fun and laughter. The fact that we still were friends after moving away 12 years ago is a testament to the love we have for our long time neighbour's and the love they showed to our family. We will miss him

Lee, I am so heartbroken to hear of you losing the love of your life. He was one of a kind and loved him from our working together at Ontario Hydro. He was the king of MBO (management by objectives) - an amazing facilitator and co-trainer. We had many adventures including the time we did a lipsinc of me as Tina Turner and him Mick Jagger- Gord in full tight leotards, me with a string mop I had died brown...all at I think the faculty club of U of T or somewhere posh. He was smart, funny and the two of you were a real soulmate couple. I lost my love this year too - he took MAID on August 5th due to fatal cancer. Gord did message me and gave me a heads up. Lee - I will always remember the pool parties of the alumni of the illustrious unit called Management Development from Ontario Hydro. Many shenanigans. I will reach out to you later. Sending all my heartfelt condolences. It is so tragic to lose the love of your life. You've joined a new club that you never wanted to be in...Love Barb Quinn

Lee,
Bob and I are so sad to hear about Gord. Its heartbreaking. He had such a sense of humour and a sense of joy. From dinners, design meetings so log and to martini parties, we have a lot of fond memories. Warmly, Minna and Bob Graham
