Donna and family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss. Gord was a great man, and helped so much when my cousin Keith passed away. He was one of the good ones. All the best to you and yours, Donna.

Donna & family,
My sincere sympathy to you & your family. As I walked past your place during Delia's 100th Birthday I wondered where Gordon was (only to find out that he was in hospital), So sorry for your loss - he was an inspiration to many (most of all - his family & community). Awesome person - glad I knew him even if he was much younger (in school). Elaine (Humphrey) Stilling
