Sincere condolences on Gord’s passing. I worked with Gord many years ago and found him to be a real gentleman, always with a smile.
Wonderful memories of my early working days at Department of Communications. They were a very special group of people and I thought so highly of each member of the department. I have such wonderful and special memory of each coworker. Special memories of Gordon as he was very encouraging with his words of wisdom. Rest In Peace Gordon. Bride (Watson) Costello
I am extremely sadden to hear of Gord’s passing. We worked together for a number of years and enjoyed lunches together in his retirement. Gord would always bring a smile to my face each time we spoke or met. Gord was a gem of a person and we were all very fortunate to have know him. Sincere condolences to the family. God speed my friend.

Stephen, Karen & families,
Met your Dad in 1988 when I started at DOC, co-workers for over 20 yrs. I soon recognized how lovely your parents were. We have never forgotten how 11 yrs later they stepped forward to check on us, after a major fire, to offer us accommodations. Their kind gesture and concern was never forgotten.
Sending our deepest condolences to all who loved him.
Justin and family, plesase accept our sincere condolences.. Gord was a great guy we have known him since we were in school together.. I know he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you..

My mother Kathleen (Kay), my brother Howard and I would like to express our sincere condolences to Gordie’s family and friends during this time of loss.
