His travels included catching rides on freight ships across the world, and riding his motorcycle through Africa.<br \/>\nIn 1974, a visit to his brother David brought him to New Denver, B.C., where he became the handyman many relied upon. Gord was known for his donations and his many hours volunteering for various local societies.<br \/>\nThe family is grateful for the care he received from the health care team as well as all his many friends from the local community.\u00a0 His passion for gardening, his love of Sandon and its history, and his practical sense and determination will be revered and sorely missed.<br \/>\nA celebration of his life was held at the Silverton Gallery in B.C.
