I was just travelling down a road that I had travelled with Gord as we had car pooled together with a number of people for almost 5 years. Thoughts of Gord led me to find out had become of him. Only to lead me here. Over the years we shared some amazing car rides from Winnipeg to AECL in Pinawa and back. He became a great friend, a great person to talk to, to joke with and simply to spend time with. He will be missed. - Posted by: Luke (Car pool buddy) on: Apr 14, 2020
