GORDON FOSSAY Peacefully, at the Carman Memorial Hospital, on December 29, 2012, Gordon Fossay passed away at the age of 87 years. Dear husband of the late Patricia (Pat) Fossay, he was predeceased by his brother Donald, and sisters, Edythe and Doris. He is survived by his three sons Grant (Patsy) Fossay; Craig Fossay; Eric (Joan Anderson) Fossay; and cherished grandchildren Jason and Dayna Fossay. He also leaves to mourn his sister Ruth McRae; sister-in-law Beverly Fossay; and sister-in-law and brother-in-law Joyce and Edward Turner - along with dear nieces and nephews in Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario, and elsewhere. Gordon was a reserved, determined, accomplished, gentle man. He loved his family, his farm, his buddies for morning coffee, and his dogs (latterly his cats). He had an inexhaustible work ethic, and the good fortune to enjoy the lifelong friendship of many, including, Ray Iverson, Joan Lofto, Freda Laxdal, Art Anderson, Arne Anderson, the Dyck brothers, and others. The family wishes to express their sincere thanks for the kindness and compassion of Dr. Michael Coodin, the staff of the Grace and Carman Hospitals, and care givers - Agnes, Carol, Christel, Erica, Kathy, and Lorraine. Memorial donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society, or to a charity of your choice. A memorial service will take place on Thursday, January 3, 2013, at 2:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave. Interment and reception will follow.

Gordon Fossay - a wonderful brother to our Mom, Edythe, and a wonderful Uncle to us. A very kind and thoughtful man who always saw the glass as half full. I hope he is enjoying a 'reunion' with his family and friends. - Posted by: Judy and Doug McPhee (Niece) on: Jan 03, 2013

Our sincere sympathy in this time of loss and grief. Your father was such a gentleman, kind, considerate and sincere. He always had a smile on his face and you couldn't help but feel good after being in his presence. We really enjoyed making lefse together. Gordon will be missed by all those who had the privilege of having known him and of course those closest to him - his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Maybe, he is now enjoying the full beauty of Palm Springs which he enjoyed so much. - Posted by: Curt and Anita Wold (friend) on: Jan 02, 2013
