Gord, my younger cousin, and I shared our childhood until we both moved away from Atikokan. He was a wonderful human being and I was heartened to read about his achievements in his obituary.
My memories of Gord - The weekends with our families at French Lake beach in Quetico Park in the 60s. We listened to man taking his first steps on the moon on the radio on the way back from French Lake. Gord,loved sports both as a participant and viewer. We spent many winters and summers playing hockey, football, baseball and golf. We played pond hockey behind Gord's after they closed Dunbar rink in our neighbourhood.
Gord dominated strategy games such as Chess and Stratego. It was never much find to lose game after game especially to a "kid".
Gord and I shared a love of fishing and spent many evenings and weekends catching our limit of pickerel at Sapawe Lake.
I will miss you Gord.
Cousin Wally Goodwin
