Date de décès : 17 juillet 2017
It is with heavy hearts but treasured memories that we announce the passing of our husband, father and grandfather, Gordon Wilfred Dawe, on Monday, July 17, 2017 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. Gordie was born August 26, 1948 in Sydney, and was the son of the late Gordon and Eliza Dawe.
Gordie retired from Sydney Steel after 30 years of employment, and was then lucky enough to have found enjoyment working at Mira River Provincial Park as the Assistant Caretaker. He got the most pleasure in meeting different people from all over the country.
The highlight of Gordie’s week was his Sunday suppers, enjoyed by his loving family and dearest friends.
Gordie is survived by his loving wife, Mary, of 30 years; children, Gordie (Michelle), Kim (Steve), Bobby (Kim), Colleen (Rob) and Jolene (Chris); 16 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings Hanna (Ray) and Roy (Donna), special friend, Darlene Boudreau.
Besides his parents, Gordie is also predeceased by numerous aunts and uncles. The family would like to thank the staff of 4C and Palliative Care.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Palliative Care unit of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
Visitation will take place Thursday, July 20, 2017 from 2-4 p.m. and again from 7-9 p.m. at S.W. Chant and Son Funeral Home, located at 564 Alexandra St., Sydney N.S. Memorial service will be held on Friday, July 21, at 1 p.m. at S.W. Chant and Son Funeral Home, with Rev. Sheldon Chant to officiate.
