Sandy and Family,

There are hardly appropriate words during these times.

I will always remember Gordie for his spirit and constant sense of fellowship.

I cherish the times that we all sat and enjoyed the warmth and sharing at the Lam family home.

I will always remember the great sense of caring that Gordie shared with all of us.

Thank you all for sharing Gordie with us for so many years.

Rest in peace Gordon. We only knew you briefly. But felt we'd known you much longer. Such a gentle man who loved his beautiful family. Our condolences and love to all the family. Ann and Ken Whitefield - Melbourne Australia.

RIP Gordie. I've known Gordie since we were teenagers playing sports at the Chinatown Rec Center, Chinese Playground and the Chinatown YMCA. Gordie officiated at my parents 50th Anniversary wedding ceremony in 1983 and also officiated at my niece's wedding. Gordie was a good friend. Jon Leong

I am honoured to say I'm related to Gordon as my son Jason married his beautiful daughter Wendy and both my wife Iris & myself were both taken in by this wonderful welcoming man with his quick wit and his excellent cooking ! My beautiful Iris passed away 7mths back but I'm at ease that she and Gordon are together again most likely sharing a joke a laugh a glass of wine & whiskey and some wisdom from their experiences ❤❤
