Our Sincere Sympathy in the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. We have many good memories of times spent with your family. Gordon enjoyed many good times with Gord and was happy to have a visit with him on the phone when we were in Winnipeg this summer. We lost Gordon to cancer on October 14th after a four year battle. - Posted by: Marion, Randy and Michelle Speers (friend) on: Oct 31, 2015
