Gordon Morin

MORIN , Gordon "Gordie" Jack Gordie passed away peacefully in Canmore, AB on August 3, 2009, at the age of 82. Gordie grew up in Gull Lake, SK and later moved to Calgary where he worked in the building construction and oil industries. Gordie had a passion for the outdoors and upon his retirement, took up residence in Kananaskis Lower Lake and finally in Canmore. Gordie is survived by his brother Donald Morin; sisters: Mary Assel, Blanche Kozroski, Mabel Moller and numerous nieces and nephews, located in western Canada and in the US, who he was very proud of. Gordie was predeceased by his parents: Toby and Clara Morin; wife Helen and son Melvin; brothers; Alvin, Irvin, Clayton and Peter; sisters: Hellen Sydenham, Evelyn Katan, Adeline Morin and Irene Morin. Always ready with a story and a laugh, Gordie was an easy conversationalist. He was generous in spirit, with his time and hospitality - his "Newfie ribs" and his annual jamborees were legendary. Gordie's family and friends would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the dedicated staff at the Bow River Lodge in Canmore, for the care they offered during his years there.
