Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Gordon's passing. I remember a picture of him and my auntie Jean (Gaskell) standing behind a bar at our old house on 35 ave. with drinks in their hands. Also of when I was a kid and both our families at some cottage and I had put something up a tap in a bathroom. When Gordon went to use the tap he got drenched and came out saying something like "Alright who plugged up the tap". But everyone knew and had a good laugh.

  • Roberta phoned me last night to let me know about Uncle Gordon's passing. I am so very sorry and know he will be dearly missed. I am sure he is visiting with my dad, catching up on news and sharing a beer. He was my dad's very best and dear friend. You both have been very special to the Harsch family over the years and I hope you find comfort in knowing Uncle Gordon is now at peace. We send our love. - Posted by: Beverly and Fausto Milinazzo and Bruce Harsch (Friend) on: Mar 17, 2005
