Gordon Murphy, aged 68, of Mt. Arlington Heights-Long Harbour, passed away peacefully on April 10, 2018 at St. John’s Health Sciences Center surrounded by his family. Gordon started fishing with his father at a young age where he developed mechanical skills. Later his skills in the mechanical field would be respected coast to coast as he mentored many, including two of his boys in the trade. Gordon was not only an inter-provincially licensed red seal heavy equipment and automotive mechanic but a multi skilled handy man who was no stranger to helping friends and neighbors in need. He raised four boys who respected and loved him unconditionally. Gordon will be sadly missed by his large family, many co-workers and friends across Canada.
