GORDON H. KOSMAN June 1, 1949 - March 30, 2016 It is with profound sadness that we announce Gordie passed away at home, peacefully early Wednesday morning, after a decade long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by the family he cherished. Gordie leaves behind his loving wife of 47 years, Marcie (nee Malo) and his three children, Kim (Glen), Jason (Kirstyn) and Charles (Micki). Beloved Papa will also be missed by his seven grandchildren, Kailey (Kere), Zachary, Brett, Ella, Jolon, Cole and Jordan. Predeceased by his parents, Charles and Anne Kosman and his sister Marlene, he also leaves behind his siblings Shirley (Bill), Alex (Val), Peter (Laurie) and Cheryl (René). Uncle Gord will also be sadly missed by dozens of nieces, nephews, cousins and his in-laws. Gord was born and raised in St. Adolphe where he owned a successful painting business for 35 years. Gord and Marcie enjoyed many summers with extended family and friends in St. Malo. Upon retirement they fulfilled their dream of living on the lake near Lac du Bonnet and also enjoyed many "Happy Hours" with their fellow winter Texans. Gord loved old cars and old country music however his greatest love was being surrounded by friends and family. Everyone who knew Gord loved his quick wit and big smile. His absence will leave a hole in the hearts of all that knew him. He will be missed. A celebration of Gordie's life will be held at St. Adolphe R.C. Church, on Tuesday, April 5, 2016. A eulogy will begin at 1:30 p.m. followed by the Funeral Mass at 2:00 p.m. LECLAIRE BROTHERS 475 Provencher Blvd., in care of arrangements, 204-775-2220

  • Uncle Gordie was not only my favourite uncle but he was my God-father. He always had a big smile and hug for me. And made me feel extremely special. He did that to everyone. His charming smile and sense of humour was front and center in all of our conversations. When I was a little girl, he found a small ring in one of the empty suites he was painting. He gave it to me. It had black onyx stone and a coral stone in it. I treasured that ring; still do. And I still have it because it came from Uncle Gordie especially for me. I love you Uncle Gord! You will be missed but not forgotten and forever in my heart. - Posted by: Carolyne Hadaller (Dubé) (Niece) on: Apr 01, 2016
