Gordon was a devoted family man whose whole life revolved around Annie, his two daughters, his son and his grandchildren. He loved fishing and one of his happiest moments shortly before his death was spending time with his daughter Tina who was home for almost a full month, returning to her home in Calgary just three days before he passed away.
He had many friends along the Southern Shore especially his camping buddies for many years at Chance Cove Park and his co-workers at the fish plant in Witless Bay.
As per Gordon’s wishes, there will be no visitation or service. Following cremation there will be a gathering of family and close friends to celebrate his life. He will be missed by many.
