Gordon was born and raised on the family farm East of Mossbank, a child of the Dirty 30's. As a young man he worked for his dad at the Dray and Transfer and B/A. He worked as a trucker, plumber (installing many heating and plumbing systems in Mossbank) and then farming pigs, cattle and grain. In 1946 he married Jean Ireland and they have resided in the same home in Mossbank since then, where they raised their family. Gordon was well respected, good natured and a hard worker. He loved having his family and friends around, whether it be working together on the farm, playing cards, hunting, fishing or playing with the kids. He was well known for his storytelling, sharp wit and his memory for detail. Gordon could fix anything and loved to tinker in his shop. He loved nature and animals, especially his horses and dogs. Gordon was patient, content and appreciative, especially of the care given by Dr. Glaske, nurses and staff at Long-Term Care. In his own words, "How lucky we were for a good life, some hard times but what a good life". Funeral service on Saturday, July 3, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. at the Mossbank United Church, Mossbank, SK.
