    Helen,
    So sorry to hear of Gord’s passing. I carry many fond memories of him…at his pool, with his horse and his dogs, but mostly in his basement playing his guitar and singing. :)
    Thinking about you and your family.

    Dear Helen
    So sorry to hear of Uncle Gords passing. Condolences to you and your family. We have good thoughts when remembering Uncle Gord and all the fun times we had singing along with him at family gatherings. How he loved his music! I still picture him with his guitar with his cowboy boots and cowboy hat singing his heart out while we all sang along with him.

    Gord was a good man. I worked with him in the auto industry many years ago and he taught me a lot. His love was music and he thrived on that. God Bless You Gord.
