Gordon had a book published in 1991 called Nature Did it First. After retirement, they moved to Winnipeg and continued their work with international students. In 1996, they moved to Kelowna and enjoyed the warmer weather and fresh fruit. They returned to Winnipeg in 2013 to be close to their family and where they continued to have contact with many of their international students.
The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at the Grace Hospital for their care of Gordon during his illness.
