Gord was born in Toronto Ontario (East York) on March 16, 1934. He was a retired member of the RCAF who dedicated years to his country moving all around the world from Toronto to Nova Scotia to Germany to Peterborough, where he spent his last years.

Following his retirement, Gord enjoyed being on the water, listening to classical music, drinking Merlot red wine, relaxing at the trailer, watching hockey, playing golf, poker and most importantly bridge. He was a devoted bridge player earning his title of a Diamond Life Master through years of playing and mentoring. If fate

allows it, he’s still playing bridge wherever he may be.

Gord was dedicated to everything heput his mind to. He lived a long fulfilling life and will be greatly missed.
