Sorry to hear of Gord's passing and although I haven't seen him for many years I have fond memories of him while we attended Laura Secord. - Posted by: VERN HENRY (friend) on: Sep 02, 2019

My sincere condolences on your loss. I pray that memories of happier times will see you through your time of grief! "God gave us memory so we might enjoy roses in winter." I am sorry to hear of Gord's passing, and have old but fond memories we shared. I was a Commerce schoolmate at U of M, and appeared in an award-winning drama entry he directed. He and his parents hosted a celebratory and champagne-fuelled cast party in their home after the competition, at which we learned of our surprising victory. I lost track of Gord after he graduated 1965, but am glad to hear that he enjoyed a successful and satisfying life. Rest well, Gord - Posted by: Bob Strong (Classmate) on: Aug 04, 2019

Although I haven't seen him for many years, I have many great memories of Gordon during my time with Venture Manitoba. He was a great boss and friend and I have shared many wonderful memories on board the Lord Selkirk MS and Gull Harbour Resort. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
