Gordon Bannister passed away peacefully on Sunday January 23,
2022 at the Kenneth E Spencer Memorial Home. Gordie was born April 13,
1946, the only child of Arnold and Eva (Weir)
Bannister.
Gordon lived most of his life on the
farm in Prosser Brook, a place that allowed him a much-loved horse and
the joy of seeing frequent visitors. He was a great help to his mother
in the kitchen and his father on the land.
He was a man of simple pleasures: a very
sweet Tims coffee, a bag of sugar-free candy, an ice cream now and
then and anything to do with horses.
Sadly, when his parents moved to the
Jordan, Gordie was unable to be with them. He lived many years at the
Silver Fox in Salisbury, spent an extended period in Moncton Hospital
and ended his journey at Spencer’s.
Gordie’s wonderful friend, Alan, would take him to
visit his parents quite often; Gordie counted down the days to these
special outings. His mother until her passing phoned Gordie every day
at 9pm; he awaited this daily highlight a little impatiently watching
the time on “Dad’s watch”.
In addition to his parents, Gordie was
predeceased by many aunts, uncles and cousins and his friend Alan
Trites.
Gordie was a kind and gentle man. He
will be missed.
Arrangements are in the care of
Salisbury Funeral Home (372-4800). Graveside Service will be held at
Hillside Cemetery in the spring, and will be announced.
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for
they shall see God”.
