I will always have nothing but good memories of Gordon. He wasn't much of a deep sea fisherman, but managed to reel in a fat halibut even when seasick! A great sport!
He was a good dude, and well liked in the transportation industry.
I know he will be missed by many.

Lee & Ann & All The Baerny Family,
We are so very sorry to learn of Gordon's passing. We have not seen him in a number of years, but always enjoyed the times we spent together at the Swiss Park. We believe the world has lost a TRULY WONDERFUL PERSON but also believe heaven has gained ONE GREAT SOUL. Some people come into our lives and quickly go, others, stay for a while and they leave footprints on our hearts. There are times when the right words don't exist. Times when our feelings are too deep to express. At this very sad time may it help you to know that caring thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family. May all your wonderful memories help you through this most difficult time.

I am so sad to hear of Gordie's passing. I grew up in the same neighborhood with the Baerny kids and I remember Gordie being the sweetest, most adorable little guy. I hadn't seen him since he was maybe 10 years old but always imagined him as that gentle, sweet little guy. My heartfelt prayers for Peace and Comfort go out to Lee, Ann, Linda, Mick, Pat, Jannie, Jannelle and all of Gordie's kids and extended family. Love to you all with fond memories.
