Gordon lived in Churchill from 1956 - 1976. During that time he first worked for the Department of National Defense. He then owned and operated a Shell Bulk Station and was a Ford dealer. While doing so, he then built and operated a fly-in fishing lodge in South Knife Lake. Gord personally flew in tourists to the lodge in his Cessna 206. Little did those tourists know, he was the only one eyed pilot in Canada!! On March 2, 1974 he married the love of his life Jen Rowluk. In 1978, Gordon and Jen retired and they moved back to his hometown of Swan River. The two of them enjoyed many happy years with friends and family in Swan River.

When my mother Ellen Carlotta Paull was still alive, (passed away 2000) I used to see Gordon and visited with him. He was quiet as was mentioned but he had an inner beauty that you could detect after spending an hour with him. My mother died at 102 and I thought maybe Gordon might match that but his call came and he answered. Rest in peace Gordon. - Posted by: Donald Harvey Young (not related) on: Oct 16, 2012

I remember visiting Gordon in Churchill when I was working for Transair in Flin Flon in 1968. He showed me around Churchill as best he could in all the snow and ice. Yes he was a very quiet man but also very kind. Rest in Peace. Wendee Paull Cloutier - Posted by: Wendee Paull Cloutier (Daughter of Willis Paull) on: Oct 11, 2012
