Gordon and Blanche farmed in the Rosser District for many years. He began working for the Provincial Public Works in 1956 until his retirement in 1977. Gordon loved to garden.

The family would like to thank Dr. Johnson at the Westbrook Medical Centre and the staff at GD4, GH4 and GB2 wards for the excellent care provided to Dad. Resting in the arms of God.
