Stacy and I met Gord and Sandra when we bought our lake house in the summer of 2004, and they were our next door neighbours. We hit it off immediately, and they soon became among our closest friends. Gord was a little bit younger than my father and he soon became like a second father to me. We shared many meals together over the years. They were always so much fun. Gord had a wonderful sense of humour and was a great storyteller. So there was lots of laughter , cheerful banter and hugs at the beginning and end of our visits. Gord was a very humble man and he loved all of his family dearly. I never heard Gord complain about anything including all the various health issues he had. The true measure of a person is how thry face the greatest adversity in life, their imminent death while suffering from a deadly disease. Stacy, Jon (my son) and I went to see Gord in the hospital about 8 days before his passing. Gord was totally focussed on us, asking how we were, our health, how good we looked, and his appreciation for us coming. We even were telling jokes to each other. What a great legacy to be so tuned in and concerned about others during this very difficult period in your life. I am certain that Gord got on the express elevator to heaven as I have never known a more caring, generous, thoughtful man who would do anything for you. Gord, you will live in our hearts forever and your legacy will guide your family and friends to always do the right thing with grace and humility
