Let us give Thanks for the life of Gordon Burton !                                                     Gordon is an angel who assisted us in adapting to our New Homeland [Canada].    He often travelled to camps in order to provide for his family.                                He wouldn't want us to mourn his transition. We are assured that we will catch up one day.                                                                                                           He often advised : don't accept any wooden nickels; or,never examine a gift horse  in its mouth.                                                                                           He will comment: you have the first dollar you made on coming to this country. Followed by when are you going to spend it,so that I can get to it?                      Our Condolences to  his wife Joy,his children: Judy,John,Wendy, Karen and Mary, their spouses, their  children and grand children,relatives, friends and acquaintances.                                                                                                  Well done,brother !        May God grant you Eternal Rest      Lionel & family

To my uncle Gord

I was never so proud to have you as my namesake uncle. 
I'm glad we had time together last year to share our stories and be together once again. We'll miss you and your laughter and of course Bo honk :)
...

For years, the riverbank was where
Your soul felt most at peace
Your heart was most content when there
With the fish and the geese
But then, your spirit came to rest
Where angels chose to roam
And once equipped with ten pound test
You made yourself at home.

The sky became your deep blue sea
The clouds became your shore
And there, for all eternity
You sat with friends galore
Each angel was a fisherman
Who had traded his pole
For golden wings and a game plan
At Heaven's fishing hole 

The tales you told about each catch
Its stature and its girth
Will live in memories unmatched
As days pass here on earth
Until we meet again, one day
Upon God's golden sand
We'll picture you, no other way
Than with a cod fish in your hand

Now go catch the Burton clan upstairs some dinner!

I love you grandpa forever and for always, you are home with God now, miss you lots. May you have joy and peace and rest

I love you Uncle Gord, forever in my heart...xxx
