Gordon was a great friend during 1957-58, and we lost contact for a great many years but in the fall of 2005 we met once again at a school reunion, my condolences to the Bagnall Family and Gordon's wife Pamela.
Dear Pam, Our sincere condolences for your loss. We will miss Gord. Thinking of you. From all of us at The Jackson Group.
Pam, I fondly remember Gordon as Billy's big brother who always had a warm smile and a friendly hello when we would see each other at Bill and Mar's house in the summer. My sincerest condolences to you, Pam.
Gord's passion for teasing and raucous fellowship was true to his island upbringing .He was like a displaced "easterner'. In business, he was true to his employer while understanding to his dealers. Rest in peace Gord; you'r going home !
Pam, our sincere condolences for your loss. We could always count on Gord's contagious smile when ever you met him. John fondly talks about all that Gord taught him and Gord's friendship in his time with New Holland. Thinking of you at this difficult time.
Pam, I was so sorry to learn of your loss earlier this week. Please allow me to offer condolences on behalf of myself, Cindy, Zach and my Dad. It was always such a breath of fresh air to bump into you at the McGarrell. It was like having another person looking out for us. Your updates were always thoughtful and appreciated. The way you honoured Gord with your presence at the nursing home was testimony to such an endearing love. I hope you're able to find solace at this difficult time. Be well.
Pam, I am so sorry to hear of Gord's passing. I will always remember and cherish all the wonderful times we had on the TV trips and his visits into the store. He always brought a smile to my face. He has gone on to a better place.
Dear Pam, We have many good memories of Gord and his shenanigans up at the Woods. If we ever needed a hand, we knew we could always count on him for help It's been a rough ride, but he's at rest now with no worries. Take care of yourself, we're thinking of you. Fondly, Denise and Jim
Pam, My condolences to you
Hi Pam . Very sorry to hear about Gord's passing , I go back to the days of open houses & following parties at Kucera's Gord was always regarded as a great representative of New Holland , a lot of mutual respect from his fellow travellers . We had a lot of laughs over the years . One of the good guys
I am thinking of you during this sad time Pam, very hard to lose our loved ones with this terrible disease but we know they are in a better place and are at peace
Sorry to hear of Gords passing. He was my New Holland rep years ago when I was a dealer in Markdale. Great memories, a great man.

Gordon was a serious and much-respected classmate at the United Baptist Bible Training School (UBBTS) in Moncton, NB, during the late 1950s. Classmates of course scatter on graduation, but we met several times again, many years later, during occasional reunions of former UBBTS students living in the southern Ontario region. We, will miss Gordon deeply, and extend our profound condolences to Pam and his family.
