Gordon Albert « Gord » Kennedy
1942-2019
Surrounded by his loving family, Gordon Albert
« Gord » Kennedy, age 76, of Cambridge, passed away on
Tuesday, June 4, 2019 in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville. Born
in Cambridge Narrows, New Brunswick, he was a son of the late Frank
and Bessie (Belyea) Kennedy. He served with the Canadian Armed Forces
as a military police officer for 20 years, and had been stationed with
the PPCLI in Winnipeg and served in Cyprus as a peace
keeper. He was later employed with Michelin Canada for 28
years in Waterville where he was a member of the Emergency Response
Team, president of the Social Club and active as an employee
representative. Gord enjoyed hockey; especially going to the rink and
watching his grandchildren. He also liked puttering around the house
with his many renovation projects. After his retirement, Gord truly
became a man of leisure, spending his days exactly how he pleased. For
the last six years, he and Janice enjoyed the sun and the great
friendships he made in Florida. He especially enjoyed the 4:00 p.m.
happy hour. Gord will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humour
and his dedication to his family. He is survived by his wife, Janice
(Galloway); daughters, Kelly Kennedy, Cambridge and Shelly (Mark)
Phillips, Kentville; Tieren Kennedy, Washington State; siblings, Lois
(Harry) McGibbon, Jackie (Bob) Thibodeau, Allen and Brian (Sharon),
all of Cambridge Narrows; Barb (Nico) Lubben, Port Mouton, Queens
County; grandchildren, Brennan (Jessica), Taylor (Andrew), Lyam
(Carly), Kristian, Issiah, Logan (Chelsea), Luke, Grace, Kate-Lyn
(Nicholas) and Shelby (Silas); great-grandchildren, Olivia, Peyton,
Owen, Charlie and Avery. Cremation has taken place and there will be
no visitation or funeral service, by request. A celebration of
Gord’s life will be held on Sunday, June 16, 2019 from
1:00-5:00 p.m. at the Michelin Social Club. The family wishes to
express their thanks to the ICU medical staff at VRH for their
kindness, care and compassion and everyone who has reached
out with their visits, phone calls, messages, donations and prayers.
Donations in memory may be made to Team Joshua (in support of youth
athletics). Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White
