    Brad and Darla,
    Rick & I were very sorry to hear about Uncle Gordie. Rick has lots of great memories of him, such as all the great gifts he would bring at Christmas (usually the ones Skip & Marie would not allow) :) He always had great stories and tall tales, like convincing everyone he had won Bowling for Dollars. He will be very much missed, and our thoughts are with you both.

    Brad and Darla – We regret to hear of your loss. While we only know Gord for the last few years, we always enjoyed his company, his very interesting adventures in the Caribbean while he was living there, and the stories of his cat. We will never know how good his ribs would have tasted in the proposed Rib Fest! I’m sure it would have been good based on his description, yet another sad loss. Our hearts and prayers are with Gord and you. Ming and Sony.

    I am very sorry for your loss.
    I have only lived in Port Franks for 4 years, but Gord was very active helping out in the community and you should be very proud of that.
    Just recently there was a fund raiser for his neighbour Nancy Marshall and he was very helpful and very vibrant and full of life.
    Again, my deepest condolences.
    Cathy
