“Family”, “Farming” and “Friends” were the most important things in DAD’S life. He was one of the hardest workers you would find, always helping a neighbor out with his livestock til the wee hours of the morning. Coaching a hockey game, attending meetings, making sure all equipment and vehicles were up and running every day for his family to start their day, (hours after him by the way). He always had a nephew to show farm life at his side, always so patient. Then came his son and grandchildren and they were there til the end! Truly a role model for his family and friends to follow, always treating everyone with respect and dignity. He always enjoyed a good laugh with his family and friends until he was suddenly taken from us.
A celebration of Gordon's life was held in the Indian Head Cemetery on August 27, 2022 at 2:00 p.m.
