Posted on: Friday, February 26, 2016My sympathy to the family, I had the privilege of Gord being the first sprinkler fitter I ever worked with as an apprentice. He taught me many things and we shared a lot of laughs(and a few pops at the Eastwood) .I know he will be missed at Vipond especially at the golf games.
