Hi Sonja and families
So glad to be part of the zoom funeral service.
It was good to see the families and their grown up kids.
So thankful for the legacy he has left and the good memories made over the years!
So thankful for the years we have known you and in your small group….so long ago.
Still remember the scripture we memorized and the good book studies.
Gordon is with His Lord and Saviour…..love the verse 2Timothy 4:7-8.
He is also with my dad in heaven and they are together with Jesus….wow…..what a day that will be.
I love these verses and find comfort in them too.
Praying for you and your families!
Hugs

Sonia and family, we were so sad to hear you have lost Gord at such a young age. We have lovely memories of working with him at the church in Duncan and spending time in your home and with your kids. We will pray for peace and comfort for you all in the days ahead.
My sincere sympathy to the family. I shall remember Gordon for his kind and patient manner when he served on our strata council at Regent Park. He was a calming and gentle presence.

So sorry to hear of Gordie’s passing. I worked with him in the 1970’s for BCFP. I have good memories of fishing trips together off Salt Spring.
