Gordon was born in Papineau Township, Ontario to his parents Herbert & Olive (Harper) Hazelwood on January 14, 1927. At 3 years old Gordon lost his mother to scarlet fever. A few years later Bert married Esther Munro, who became a loving mother to Gordon and his brother Don. In 1944 the family moved from Mattawa to the farm in Almonte, Ontario. He made his choice to follow Jesus when he was a teenager. He loved the farm but at 23 he followed the call to spread the Gospel Story and was active in that work for 65 years. He loved to talk about Jesus and share messages from the Bible. He will be missed by family and many friends.
His siblings are the late Donald (Marjorie Richards), the late Della (Gerald Clark), the late Alexander (the late Jean Gray) (Annie McGee-Hartman), Clarence (Gwen Byers), the late Keith (Donna MacLean), the late Garry (Audrey Smith), and Isabelle (Wallace Eady).
