Kemlo, Leonard “Skip” Frank Gordon
It is with profound sadness that our family announces the peaceful passing of Len on Monday, August 26th at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Dear husband of Carol (nee Nixon) for 50 years. Loving and supportive Dad to Matt (Jaimee Lea) and Chris (J.J.). Proud grandfather of Kershaw and C.J., who were grandpa’s pride and joy. Lovingly remembered by Jagger, Danika, and Stevie Lea. Special “Skunkle” to Virginia, Paul, and Tyler Breedon and Victoria Berwick.
Skip will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by the Nixon, McGill, Jenkins and Alder families and dear friends. And of course that includes his wonderful golf buddies, who were such an important part of his life, with a very special thank you to Ron and Roger for always being there for their friend.
Skip was predeceased by his parents, Jim and Clarice (aka Bill) Kemlo and his favourite sister Patricia Meek.
Our family is grateful to his dedicated home nurse Goldie, PSW’s and the doctors and nurses in the palliative unit for their kindness, support and care.
Your family is forever thankful for your precious time with us. May you forever be at peace, knowing how much you were loved, respected and cherished.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, September 8, 2024 from 12-1 p.m. at Armstrong Funeral Home (124 King St. E., Oshawa). A Celebration of Life will follow in the Chapel at 1 p.m.
As an expression of sympathy, donations would be appreciated to Marigold Hospice (Clarington) or a charity of your choice. Online condolences may be shared at www.armstrongfh.ca
