    Our family will miss our fun loving, always smiling Uncle Gordy with that big beautiful laugh! You always made me and my family feel loved and welcome in your home so thank you!

    Growing up, our families were very close spending every holiday and many summers together with a lifetime of memories and fun adventures visiting Cedar Point, Boblo Island, the African Lion Safari and camping at Jellystone park to name a few. More recently, lunching in Stratford or our regular visits to Goderich with my parents Judy and Larry which always included going for a drive and ‘doing a ringer” and heading down the hill to the beach.

    Rest in peace my funny, kind uncle and know that you will be missed tremendously, but never forgotten.
    xoxoxo
    Aunt Nancy, Tammy & Chris we love you all very much!

    Jennifer & Kevin Birnstihl and family

    My sincere condolences to the whole family, may you all remember the fun times. Junior really was a good guy. I remember him always having a great sense of humour. He also was up for anything, and would do just about anything.
    I remember him when he was about 18, he and some of his friends were driving around in a car without doors and he took me for a ride. Silly things you remember. Rest in Peace Junior.
