Condolences for the family of “Gordon H. Brown”
My sincerest condolences to Dawnie, Jackie and the entire family. I’ll never forget those times at the cottage – Gord always ready with a good joke or a story from one of his life adventures. I know you will all miss him very much.

We’re very sad for your loss, Jackie. Although he wasn’t an uncle by blood, I’ve called him ‘Uncle Gordie’ my entire life. He was my dad’s (Ron McLean’s) closest childhood friend and they stayed close throughout their lives. I’ll always remember Uncle Gordie’s Christmas day visits where he and my dad would exchange nostalgic and often funny gifts, have a drink and remember stories and people from their shared past. He’ll be deeply missed by anyone who was lucky enough to know him.
Derek McLean and family
Scott and the entire family our deepest condolences on your loss, from the entire Papadeas family (Babalou’s). Gord always had a warm smile and a joke or two whenever he would visit us for his toasted western or to pick up food for the gang at Bristol. May his memory be eternal.
Rest in peace Gordo.

Our condolences to Jackie and family. We are going to miss Gord so much. He was such a great man and always kept us laughing with his jokes and sense of humour. He always had a smile in his face when he would tell us stories about his family and the places and things he has done. May all those memories help you through this difficult time.
Until we meet again Gord.
