Gordon Forbes

GORDON CAME INTO MY LIFE IN 1966 AND WHAT A BLESSING . HE WAS A MAN OF HONOR, DIGNITY AND FULL OF COMPASSION FOR LIFE ,HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE HAD THE SPECIAL GIFT TO MAKE YOU FEEL AS IF YOU WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE ROOM. WHEN GORDON CAME INTO A PARTY HE WAS THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION FOR ALL, HIS GIFT OF GAB AND WITT KEPT US ALL WITH WARM HEARTED SMILES ON OUR FACES.

RANDY HAD THE PLEASURE TO MEET GORDON IN 1986 WHEN WE WERE MARRIED. A TRUE BOND BETWEEN TWO...

He was my uncle and I am so sorry to hear of his death. My sincerest condolences to Barbara, Lesley and her sisters and their families.

MY DEAREST GORDON.
YOU TOUCHED MY LIFE IN 1966 AND HOW YOU BLESSED ME AND MY CHILDREN. YOU WERE THE ROCK AND THE FOUNDATION. AS I LOOK AT ALMOST FORTY YEARS KNOWING YOU , YOU TOUCHED MY LIFE SO MANY TIMES. HE LOVE YOU SHARED WITH JEFF AND MELISSA AND RANDY ONE CAN ONLY SAY THANK YOU. YOU WERE A GREAT MAN BUT MORE THAN THAT YOU HAD DIGNITY, HONOR AND LOVE FOR ALL THOSE AROUND YOU. NOW THAT YOU GO THROUGH THIS LAST JOURNEY OF LIFE YOU WILL MEET GOD AND HE WILL SAY WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PERSON...

My parents immigrated the day after the Forbes' family did in 1956 for the same company. Our relationship is one of a large family. Gordon was the salt of the earth and was one of the most gracious and giving individuals that I know. I will miss him, however, what he did in life will live on through many generations. We should be honoured at his presence in our lifetime and pass it to future generations.

I met gordy at the biweekly "romeos" lunch. He was a charming and delightful lunch companion, we will miss him.
