Born August 22, 1943 in Fillmore, Saskatchewan, Gord graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Engineering, then moved to Edmonton to pursue his Masters of Engineering at the University of Alberta. Upon graduation, Gord and his family settled in St. Albert and he began a very long and fulfilling career as a partner in Colt Engineering.
Gord lived his life to the fullest; he enjoyed golfing, skiing, fastball, hockey, travelling and spending time with his many family members and friends both here and in his winter home of Goodyear, AZ. But the thing that gave him the greatest enjoyment in life was spending time with his five grandchildren.
