Rest in Peace Uncle Gord. I will remember riding in the combine with you and yes, going swimming after. And yes, Aunt Ruth’s cookies as well! My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. God Bless.

so sorry to learn of the loss of your Dad and husband. our fond memories would be a halloween, when Gordon loved to dress up – even when he was sick in bed – One to remember was president Nixon. We can still see him in bed, greeting the little ghosts, dressed up himself as the president.
Scott and Renee Trevors And Family
We are really going to miss Gord each Sunday morning. Jean and Gord were the cuttiest couple and our children loved the attention they recieved from them. May we all be comforted in the fact that Gord is now rejoicing with our Heavenly Father. Love the Trevors.

I will always remember the kindness Gordon and Ruth showed to Lyell and me when we first moved to Ten Mile Road and over the years after that to all of our family. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you remember a very kind and special gentleman.

My thoughts are with you John and Jean and all of your family. I have many fond memories of Uncle Gordon and all of them with a smile on his face. My visits to the farm in my late teens to enjoy the sun by the pool and visit Grand Bend in the evenings with John are good memories. And I will always appreciate all of the dinners out and chocolate cookies from Aunt Ruth while I was away at school in London. Please know that I am sending my love and prayers over these next few days.
