Dear Cathy, Steve and Marcy
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your dad. It is hard to lose a parent but his memories will soon fill the void you feel in your heart at this time.

Gord, You were a man who always welcomed us with friendship. John looked forward to visiting with you each summer weekend to sit in your Adirondack chairs and watch the beauty of the lake and people there. Your friendship will be sadly missed but our memories of you will be cherished forever!

When I think of the Rideau Canal, Gord and his four legged friend "Fred" come to mind. Gord manned one of the busiest lockstations along the Canal for years, anyone who travelled thru certainly knew Gord.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of your father. I will aways remember him as the "Man in the White Sports Coat with a Pink Carnation'. He was a great friend to our father, Dick Couch and we enjoyed hearing about their great escapades at the Couch's Shell garage, back in the day !! He will be remembered with fondness.
Constance, Barbara, Jim & Ken Couch.

Our condolences to Cathy, Marcy and Steve along with your families. It is hard to imagine what McVeety Road will be like without Gord. He brought family, boaters and neighbours together twice a summer for his pot lucks which were always a success.
May your memories carry you through this very difficult time.

Gord was a good friend and mentor to many of us on the Rideau Canal. His annual fundraiser for CHEO and his welcoming nature was a reflection of the man he was. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be sadly missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him.
