• When I had first started with MEP, Gordo took me under his arm and steered me around the world of MEP. He taight me how to use common sense and, "if it feels like the right thing to do then you should be okay", words I still live by today. I am truly honoured to have worked with Gord he was a great sounding block. I am also very lucky to have spent many afternoons by the pool with Gord while he was recovering, sipping some beers along with Sandy and Cathy, those days I will truly cherish. He was a GOOD man, I will truly miss his company. - Posted by: KARL SMITH (CO WORKER) on: Oct 16, 2013

• Gord and I met in 1989 when we became work colleagues. A friendship formed quickly and soon expanded to include our spouses. The four of us enjoyed many dinners out, pool parties, soaking in their hot tub and just fun get-togethers. Gord’s sense of humor and love of Elvis often set the stage for many memorable occasions. Gales of laughter could be heard and when you located the source you would find Gord at the core often displaying his ability to either dance or sing like Elvis. Gord’s was a presence that always evoked laughter and smiles for those around. When we think about Gord my husband and I can’t help but smile and fondly remember all the good times we shared. My husband and I feel very privileged to have had a friend like Gord in our lives. - Posted by: Wendy Kostiuk ((friend)) on: Oct 15, 2013

• My deepest sympathy to Cathy and family. I worked with Gord for many years in the Sheriffs Dept. He was a great guy, I'm glad I got to kmow him. - Posted by: Chuck Crawley (former co-worker) on: Oct 15, 2013

• Gord has touched and inspired many lives. He was one of those rare souls whom others are always happy to encounter, even if just in passing and to share a quick hello. He had a natural way of always leaving others feeling uplifted, and I know those who had the privilege of knowing him will always remember that. Our fondest memory of Gord is coming in to the office and as he is one of the first people you see he always had a smile or asked how you were, he was always there to laugh with and always made our day with his jokes and stories. We girls all ended up sometime during the day laughing and talking around Gord’s desk. He was the candy man of the office and it was rare that there was not a jar of candy at his desk for that sweet treat and he always had time to brighten your day. He was always making us laugh and wiggling his eyebrows at us when he got to the punch line of the joke. The way he spoke of his family you just knew that they were his greatest joy. You never saw a more proud Grandpa!! He was always telling stories and showing pictures of the grandkids at work. He is a person who will truly be missed by all. See you again Gord!! Love from the girls of MEP We offer our sincere condolences to the family. - Posted by: MEP (CO-WORKERS) on: Oct 15, 2013

• My deepest sympathy to Gord's family. I worked with Gord on the Sheriff's Dept and knew his brother Al when I was with WCP. They were both great guys. Gord had a good sense of humour and was good to work with. He will truly be missed by all those who knew him. - Posted by: Bill Bell (former co-worker) on: Oct 14, 2013

• Cathy and family, I am truly sorry for your loss.

• My sincere condolences are expressed to the entire Cameron family on the passing of their beloved, Gordon. I met Gord over forty years ago when we were both members of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders Cadet Corp. We spent countless hours at Minto Armoury, developing discipline skills and relationships that would serve us well throughout life. Gordon and I also had the opportunity to travel Canada together, attending various cadet training camps. I last saw Gordon a number of years ago when I made an impromptu visit to Minto Armoury and Gord was serving as Commanding Officer of the Cameron Cadet Corp. Although our visit together was short, it was great to see my old friend and reminisce about days long past. Although relationships over the years can wane, I take comfort in the memories I shared with good comrades. God Bless you Gordon! - Posted by: Don Halbert (Old Friend) on: Oct 13, 2013

• In 1909 my mother came to Canada where she befriended the Simm family. Although I moved to Scotland the friendship carried on. Seventy years later I became reacquainted with Jennie Simm, now Challoner, and met her son David and his now wife Jackie, who in turn introduced us to her sister and brother-in-law, Cathy and Gord. A very special friendship began and has also endured for many years, and for this Raye and I are so glad. Gord's kindness will never be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to the loss of a wonderful husband and father. - Posted by: Olive McDonald (Friend) on: Oct 12, 2013

• Gord was the commanding officer of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders Cadet Corps when I first joined them in 1992. He was a compassionate and dedicated leader that we were all privileged to have him guide us through those years. - Posted by: Marsha Scheller (Hawkins) (Former Cadet) on: Oct 12, 2013

• I just want to say thanks for being the best Commanding Officer the Cameron Cadets have ever had. You made cadets for all of us a time we will never forget. - Posted by: Kevin Higgins () on: Oct 12, 2013

• He is my Dad! He was when I was alone and just being as he was he made me feel comfortable and protected! I am blessed to have an opportunity to share great moments with him! He always will be in my heart! And I am always gonna miss him... Every single time that I remember my experiences in Canada, he will be sitting at table laughing and making jokes all the time. I Love you Dad! And thank you to be so special and made me feel great by your side. - Posted by: Vanessa (Daughter) on: Oct 12, 2013

• So very sorry that this is how it had to end, but I am glad that you are now pain free and an Angel looking over your family. I promise, I still won't park in the driveway, because I have a funny feeling if I did, you would pull a prank on me from up above! Will miss you even though I didn't see much of you in recent years, but I always got my updates from your niece! I am a lucky one to have had known you. Until we meet again my friend! - Posted by: Pat (friend of family) on: Oct 12, 2013
