Hi Heather and Family: I just read via a CBC  pensioners communique that Gordie had passed away.
I first met Gordie when my family and I moved to Sydney in 1978.
Gordie was not just a wonderful person but a strong listener and 
had great thoughts and opinions.All in his very nice way. 
Later on when I moved to Halifax, I would continue to drop by the station when I was in Sydney working with
Land and Sea.
Gordie never changed. Always Gordie and a  Great Tech.
in 2000, I moved into the role as Union Rep and would again always see Gordie when I dropped by the station.
He always gave you the time of day and took an interest in what
I was doing.
It has been said that time will heal all.
I would like to say Gordie was truly a cut above the rest.
His sense of humor was outstanding.
Regards to you Heather and all the family.

I will always treasure the decades Gordie and I spent working together at CBC Cape Breton.  Many great conversations, both serious and funny.  Gordie was always comfortable to be around and was so helpful to me on many occasions whether it was related to work or personal issues.  I began my career as a technician and I'm grateful to him for being a trainer and an early mentor.  Godspeed my friend.  Til we meet again.

My condolences to the family.

May Gordon R.I.P.

Heather - On behalf of Lynda and me, we are so sorry to hear about Gordie's passing. Rarely did you fail to mention Gordie's name when we talked, when you and I worked at the Fortress of Louisbourg, and later after we both retired. He was always on your mind. So sad.

Dear Heather and Ronelda and family,
So sorry to hear of Gordon's passing. Many childhood memories of my cousin who lived two doors down the street. Gordon was always the pleasant, quiet guy who enjoyed tinkering with electronics and could fix anything. His career choice showed that this continued. 
May your memories give you strength at this time and going forward.
Sincerely,
Marian Stauch-Kennedy


Dear Heather - My most sincere condolences on Gordon's passing.  I am a loss for words and can only say he will be greatly missed by all of us, the  dedicated birders of the CB Naturalists.  My heart and prayers are with you.

On behalf of the Sons of Skye,
our sincere condolences to you, Heather and family on the sad passing of Gordie.  
We have fond memories of Gordie during our visits to CBC, where the Sons of Skye made recordings with Gordie at the controls.  He always helped the group reach our full potential.   He was fun to be around ; he was patient and focussed - a great guy to work with.  No matter how many takes, he kept smiling in the booth. If the baseball cap was tipped downward, we knew we had to do another take.   If he tipped upward, all was well!! 
We know you will feel a void , Heather, for losing such a special person, but you have lots of good memories to hang on to!! May Gordie RIP. 

Remembering Gordon with fondness during our birding outings. 
Sincere condolences.
Jim & Pauline

Heather and family:  Ross and I were so very saddened to hear of Gordie's passing. Ross was recalling how much fun they had together with their good humored banter and how Ross would always look for Gooooooooooooooordie (haha).  He is not suffering now and that is a blessing. I know you will miss him but your memories will help sustain you through this difficult time.

It is with great sadness that we learned of Gordie's passing today.  My brother Bobby Keefe and I are Gordie and his sister Ronelda's first cousins.  Our father Lloyd and his mother Elsie were siblings.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences.  Our heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Heaven's just received it's newest Angel.

I am so very sorry Heather to hear of Gordon’s passing.  I know that you will miss him greatly. He was so very talented in so many ways. Our singing group appreciated his skills in video and photography and he was always so ready and willing to help us look good and sound great too!
