Gord passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 5, 2025, at Campbell House Hospice, Collingwood surrounded by the love of his three children.
Beloved husband of the late Gwen (née Joyce), Gord was a devoted father to Graham (Suzanne), Gregg (Lisa), and Gayle (Jason). He was a cherished grandfather to Joel (Trina), Cassandra, Jessica, Avery, Amilia, Evangeline, Jallaina, Brianna, and Charlotte, and a proud great-grandfather to Benjamin, Kayden, Lochlon, Theo, Maya, William, and Eleanor.
Gord will also be lovingly remembered by his partner, Jean Thomson, Jean’s sons, Bruce and Grant, and his extended family and many dear friends.
