Uncle Gord and Aunt Charlotte visited us and my Mom Yvonne in Milton often. It was wonderful for them to venture out to say Hi. I am honoured my Uncle Gord walked me down the isle at my wedding ceremony. Uncle Gord spoke to someone at TD Bank at King And Bay to refer me and have my first banking job when I was 19. Uncle Gord has always been respected and loved by me. I love the news of his Lincoln having 500K miles on it,(so he said) and still going. My son, David, has a Lincoln running today with 400K. Love you Uncle Gord xoxo. Condolences to Cathy, Tim, Christopher, Noelle, and Paul.
