    So sad to hear of Gord’s passing. Gord was Mr. Lottery for many years here at St. Joseph’s hospital contributing his humour, love of people and sales skills to sell tickets for our Hospital Auxiliary. Always ready with a story or a quip, Gord knew many of the staff and he was sadly missed when he retired from his volunteer position. Our thoughts are with Anna and the family at this time.

We will always remember the fun times at the cottage, the happy campfires and Gords wit and humor. A special remembrance will be Gords kindness in the transport of dad (Roy) from the airport to the funeral home.
