He will also be mourned by the mother of his sons, Dorene, and his favourite mother-in-law Anne Kowal. He was predeceased by his mother Katherine and father Peter; brother Norman; nephew Wayne and niece Debbie. Gordon had an incredible sense of humour that never left him in his final days. He was a great lover of the outdoors who enjoyed fishing and hunting and cherished the outing more than anything. He also loved gardening and was a member of the Khartum Shriners (Chanters) who loved to sing. After more than 40 years in sales, Gordon enjoyed his retirement, spending time with his grandchildren and taking trips to Hawaii.

The family would like to thank the doctors and staff in the Oncology and Hematology wards at the Health Sciences Centre...especially Kathy and Pat.
