GORDON PAUL REID August 10, 1923 March 5, 2011 It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing, at age 87, of our father, uncle and friend Gordon who died peacefully surrounded by his loving family at Goodwin Lodge in Teulon, MB. Gordon was predeceased by his wife Dorothy in 2009 and first wife Mary Christina in 1991, and only sibling Roy in 2002. He was born in Stonewall, MB, oldest son of Paul and Helena. Gordon was raised and lived most of his life in Winnipeg and spent his summers out in Teulon on his hobby farm. He worked 43 years at Eaton's and upon his retirement packed up and permanently moved to the farm he loved so dearly. Gordon's health and age reluctantly forced him to leave his farm but he remained in Teulon till his passing. All who knew Gordon have fond memories of him in his garden and seeing the results of his woodworking. Keepsakes of these items will be dear to his family and friends to cherish. Gordon is now at rest. He will be dearly missed by his children Maureen (Nelson) Capuska, Debbie (Joe) Giese, George (Eleanor) Barton, and Raymond Barton; grandchildren Sandra, Joanne, Wendy, Colleen, Danielle, Greg, Jasmine; great-grandchildren Vanessa and Peter, and many nieces and nephews. Gordon had many friends over the years, but special thanks to Phil and Vera who were there for him in his later years. Friends may call on Thursday, March 10 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. at MacKenzie Funeral Chapel, Teulon (on #7 Hwy). Funeral service will be held on Friday March 11 at 2:00 p.m. at the same location. Following the interment at Windsor Cemetery lunch will be back at the chapel. Special thanks to Dr. Pillay, nurses and the entire staff of Goodwin Lodge for the loving care and kindness that Gordon received. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Teulon in care of arrangements.
