Gord enjoyed his 25 years of retirement in his adopted home of Cape Breton, surrounded by his loving extended family and his good neighbours both on the street and at the Bonnie Prince. He enjoyed watching baseball, his stamps and reading and especially loved his garden and yard and would start and end many a day outside.
