GORDON RIDDOCH After living a full life, it is time to say goodbye to our dad and grandfather Gordon Riddoch. On January 3, 2013, at the age of 84, Dad passed with his family by his side. Dad was predeceased by his parents, siblings and loving wife Margaret of 37 years. He will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his children, Don (Bev), Tim (Lynda), Cindy (Greg), Linda (Ken), Bonnie (Fred) and Bill (Marna) as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his long-time partner Ramona Johnson and her family. During his life, Dad lived in Thunder Bay, where his children were born. Upon returning to Winnipeg, he worked for Eatons until his retirement. His greatest joy was his family and he was proud of each one of them. Dad loved the cabin, fishing and road trips. He enjoyed his weekly outings to A W and Wal-Mart. Heartfelt thanks go out to all the staff at the Health Sciences Centre for their compassionate care and support. In respecting Dad's wishes a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Siloam Mission.
