I remember the first time I met Gord, it was at our local Farmer’s Market when he stopped by looking at products , chatting and asking questions with genuine interest. My first impression was that of a very sweet man with a natural curiosity and friendly disposition. Coincidently my husband and I met Gord again very soon after through a close mutual friend and we got to know him well and enjoy his and Cynthia’s company and friendship. We learned a good few things from his knowledge of just about everything living and otherwise. Out of concern for the decline of birds, Gord recorded the daily comings and goings of birds in his garden to send on for research purposes! That speaks volumes to someone who cared for the environment and the small creatures who depend on its preservation. We thank you too for the example of love and kindness you were to our (and Cynthia’s) daughter, she is richer for knowing you. Wish we could have known you for many years more Gord, but unfortunately due to the wisdom of a higher authority, that was not to be. We know you are building a beautiful new garden in your new and healthy world and hope that there are just too many birds for you to possibly count at the feeder. Our love and deepest sympathy to Cynthia, Brenna and Gord’s daughter and husband for the loss of a beloved partner, father and friend. Go well Gord, Deborah Keogh
