Born on January 4, 1932, in Walkerville, Ontario, to the late Sydney and Ruby (nee Mantion) Long. Many may remember Gord from his days working as a stationary engineer, and also his work in refrigeration and air conditioning. Gordon was a man who cherished his wife Nancy, and loved his family dearly. He lived a full life and was modest over his accomplishments. He was a volunteer, and an actor who loved the theatre. He was a motorcyclist, college instructor, author, and an avid reader. He and his wife loved to dance in their youth. He enjoyed travelling, photography, and possessed a great sense of humor. Gord was a deeply spiritual man who inspired his family through his divine faith.
