To the Francis family
Sorry to here that Gordon has passed away he will be greatly missed by all that new him and by all in the community!!
I am so sorry to hear of Gordon’s passing.He always had time for a chat and a good word for all.The best cold milk on so many trail rides years back.He will be missed by all who knew him.
Thinking of all of you at this time of sorrow. Remember the good times and Gordon will always be with you.
So sorry for the loss of your father… we enjoyed his company on our Cypress Hills Trail rides. He and Vivian were a lot of fun at the campfires in the evenings.
Gordon was a hard working farmer. He always seemed to be getting kicked by a cow or toppling off of a bin but it seems as though he had MORE than nine lives and did a great job farming! He will be missed!
So sorry for your loss.
Sorry we can’t attend the funeral as we are still in Arizona.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Aunt Viv, Ray and family, Sharon and family – I’m so sorry to hear of Uncle Gordon’s passing. I have so many childhood memories of the farm that I will forever cherish. I am grateful that I was able to have a visit with him in December.
Condolences
