Gord had a passion for Special Olympics athletes. It was easy to see how meaningful Special Olympics was to Gord and I know Signature Authentics will carry on that legacy.
Gord will be missed by his family and friends. My sympathies to Susan, Michael, Geoff and the rest of the family.
RIP Gord.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Please accept Lorraine and my sincere condolences.
I've known Gord so long, I really can't remember a time when I didn't know him. He had a manner that drew people to him ... always understated, always considerate, always generous and always a gentleman.
Years ago, when I asked for his help with one of my Special Olympic schemes, he didn't just say yes, he embraced the organization and understood the importance of helping our athletes. He became a champion for the charity and brought you, your brother and your company along. You were all-in. The financial impact Gord had on the Special Olympic organization can't be measured. We only know where it used to be and where it is now ... Gord was a force who very quietly did his thing and everyone in the organization is better because one day, he said, "yes" to help.
For me, one of the most important words in our language is a volunteer. Your dad was a super-volunteer.

I was a long time roommate of Micheal at UWO and had the pleasure to meet his father on several occasions. Indeed you were a very special person and I am sure you will be missed by many. My deepest condolence to the entire family and friends of this incredible human being. Rest In Peace.
We always enjoyed Gord's entertaining stories about the fascinating people he'd met throughout his life. Gord's dedication to his family and his charitable nature leave a lasting legacy to be emulated by those of us who consider ourselves lucky to have been his friends. We are forever grateful for his kindness and generosity.
Dear Sue, Michael, Geoff and family, Gord's passing has left a huge hole in all our hearts. We know how much you will miss him and so will we. We will always remember with deep gratitude his thoughtfulness, generosity, and most importantly his friendship. The world looks different now. Rest in peace dear friend, you've earned your wings. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and warmest hugs.
Love to you all,
Don, Anne and family.
