Gord was born in Regina on October 2, 1908. Gord and his brother Les operated a corner store until WWII. Gord and Madge married in 1940 before he went overseas where he served in Germany, Holland, France, Belgium and the UK. When Gord returned to Canada, he worked for the army, the post office and the RCMP, retiring from the RCMP Barracks in 1973. Gord moved into his present house in November 1955 and remained there until his passing, something that he was very proud of. Gord was a true Roughrider fan and maintained his season ticket as long as he could and listened to or watched every game. GO RIDERS!!! In keeping with Gords wishes, there will be no service. Donations in his memory may be made to the Regina Public Library, Outreach Services, Meals on Wheels, or a charity of the donors choice.
