Gordon enjoyed life to its fullest, he loved to joke, play golf, bowl, curl, play cards, make puzzles and play slot machines.  He travelled to many places during his long life which included Portugal, California, Las Vegas, Cuba, a Princess Cruise and Alaska.

Dad loved to meet with family and friends for breakfast every Sunday and was always ready to meet with family and friends for any occasion.
