GORDON MANSON MCEWAN On Thursday, November 18, 2010 at 4:52 a.m. our lives changed forever when our Husband, Dad, and Grandpa peacefully passed away at Deer Lodge Hospital. Gord is survived by Joyce, his wife of 63 plus years, his children, Brian (Colleen), Dayle (Dave), and Donnie and their families. Gord was born January 15, 1922 in Winnipeg and was predeceased by his sisters, Rose, Mille and Beryl. He attended Earl Grey and Kelvin schools. After a short time working with MTS, he joined the Navy in January 1941 and served on convoy duties from 1942 to 1945 on the Corvette HMCS Barrie. Following his discharge from the Navy Gord returned to work at the Manitoba Telephone System until retiring in 1977. Joyce and Gord enjoyed many trips together including Hawaii, Portugal, and countless bus trips with their friend Merv. He was a proud life member of the Prince Edward Legion #81 where he served as its treasurer for two terms. Many happy times were spent at their cabin at Nutimik Lake where special memories were made. Gord was extremely proud of his three grandsons, Brent (Deanna), Scott (Alexis) and Jamie (Laura). Gord was loved by all who knew him, especially his lifelong buddy Gordie Mackie. Gord and his family would like to extend a very special thanks to the staff of E2 at the Deer Lodge Hospital. Their compassion warmth and care were much appreciated. Special thanks to Erin, Karen and Jessie. At Gord's request cremation has taken place. A private family service will be held. Gord, no one can take away all the great memories we have of you. You will always be in our hearts. THOMSON IN THE PARK 925-1120 Condolences may be sent to www.thomsoninthepark.com
