Not sure what to say?

Charlene, I was deeply saddened to hear about Gordon's passing. He was an extremely important influence in my formative years, and had a significant impact on what I saw as important in work and life. He also taught me how to weigh and consider decisions -- and maybe more importantly to write simply and to favour smaller and fewer words whenever possible. I will always remember co-hosting charitable tennis events and dinners all over the city, Gordon's considerable charity and generosity...

My wife, Chi, and I met Gordon when we traveled across Canada in 2016 to see relatives including cousin Charlene. Gordon had a breadth of knowledge and experience combined with a sharp wit. We were fortunate to have met him. He will be missed.

I always enjoyed greeting Gordon for his match in the Thursday Night Tennis House League at the Badminton and Racquet Club of Toronto. I will miss our brief chats.

I am saddened to read of Gord Kaiser's passing. I chatted with Gord many times at arbitration conferences. He was an interesting and engaging colleague. He also kindly gave me his book on energy arbitration. My sincere condolences to Gord's family. Igor Ellyn
