Ria, Michael, Eric, Ron and the Tadgell Family,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of Gord.
I certainly enjoyed my employment at the Country Market with all of you – even the time that Ron (maybe Eric) threw the whipped cream pie and Gord just laughed.
Treasure all your memories. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Gord, … my deepest sympathies to Ria and the children whom I knew well from OLI — Tim, Brenda, Stephen and Michael, and then later Eric and Ron, coming up the line. I was honoured that Ria and Gord recognized me and would hurry to catch up with me to have a short visit and to shake my hand after Mass in Grand Bend— always with a smile— Hugs to all of you… In my prayers.
