Gord was born in Camrose, attended Camrose Lutheran College and farmed with his parents. He later moved to Millarville where his life encompassed careers in dairy farming, realtor, and Aberdeen Angus purebred breeder for the rest of his farming life. When “Canadian Revolution” came on the scene, success on the international market began. He had been involved with Black Angus from birth as his Dad was one of the first breeders in Alberta in 1916. A crowning achievement was the Grand Champion Bull at the 1978 Calgary Spring Show.

Gord was a caring and loving husband, father, grandfather and loyal friend, always generous with advice. He was community oriented in his children’s activities as they grew up. He enjoyed the outdoors hunting, golfing, rose gardening and RVing; and his garage was his man cave . He was a thoughtful and generous host. He stayed in touch with old friends, school mates (1943) and new friends on a regular basis.

"Gord will be forever in our hearts and will never be forgotten".
