He was a fanatic about most sports, especially the NHL and CFL. The Canadiens and the Riders were his favourites. Gordon would tell you any statistic you could possibly imagine. He was also very interested in the Second World War as well as the history of the Anglican Church in Canada. Gordon spent countless hours in libraries doing his research, deriving great joy sharing his findings with everyone. Gordon spent his entire life in Regina. He enjoyed his apartment, his cat Leonardo and his supportive friends. He was kind and loyal, had a wonderful sense of humour, and discovered happiness in television, radio, music, and the rich world of books.
