Shocked to here about my old buddy Gord. I walked to school with Gord for years. Our families were proud Scots. Gord was good with folk from all walks of life. A fond part of my childhood and teenage years were spent with Gord. Living in BC I eventually lost touch. I can't think of a more solid guy than Gord Loudon. I'll never forget our Babpipe lessons in Pine Falls although the Pipe Major would love to forget! Fond memories forever. My thoughts are with you Roy. - Posted by: Colin Brown (Friend) on: Jun 23, 2012
