Peter Donald McKenzie Gordon

Entered into rest on Sunday, January 8, 2023 at Greater Niagara General Hospital. Peter at the age of 91 was the beloved husband and soulmate of Barbara (nee Clarke) for more than 62 years. Proud and devoted dad of Tim (Nicole) and the late Donald. Much loved grandpa of T.J. (Elaine) and Peter (Tara). Cherished great grandpa of Nikolas, Amelia and Cole. Predeceased by his sister Margaret (the late Len Beal). Sadly missed by relatives and friends.

Peter retired after a hard working career as a painter with Niagara Parks Commission. He truly enjoyed his 54 years lighting up Niagara Falls with the Illumination Board. Peter was a talented athlete; playing baseball, golf, and hockey until he was 75 and had to start taking it easy. His seasoned skills showed in many horseshoe games in competition with Tim. Peter will be forever remembered for his sense of humour, being a good natured people person and most of all for his immeasurable love of his family.

The “Old Lamp Lighter” is resting peacefully.

In keeping with Peter’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family interment will take place at Fairview Cemetery. For those who wish, memorial donations to a charity of your choice, would be appreciated. Online tributes may be made at hetheringtonanddeans.com.
