Gordon Lyle Whittaker
May 22, 1945 - June 21, 2022
On the early morning of June 21, 2022 Gordon Whittaker passed away peacefully.
Gordon is predeceased by his parents Marie and Sinclair as well as 2 brothers William and Gerald, 2 sisters Carrie and Gloria.
He leaves behind 2 sisters Loretta Grant and Merileen Ramsey. As well as family and friends near and far.
He loved playing cribbage and pinochle with his friends and family. He loved Chitlins and would always offer to share for anyone who wanted some. He was a hardworking man and was always available to lend a hand if needed. He liked to be playful and silly and enjoyed making others laugh.
He will be missed dearly by those who loved him.
There will be a celebration of life to be announced at a later date.
Our Condolences to Gordie’s families & friends as we grieve his passing. Loved 🥰 by all who knew him & until we meet again 🙏❤️
Uncle Gordie, always my favourite, cool uncle. He always said nice things and I knew he had our best interests at heart. He will be missed.
My wife, Beth, and I both worked with Gordie at Swaffield Foods in the mid-seventies. Eventually we lost touch, and I learned of his passing only this morning. Even after so many years, I still remember Gordie as one of the most enjoyable co-workers in my life. Every day with Gordie was a fun day, full of laughs. At the same time, he was extremely hard working and competent in all that he undertook. Through the years, Beth has often recalled how much fun she and the other office worker had playing crib with Gordie and a partner (often Gordie’s cousin Dave) during work breaks. Gordie was lightning fast. The laughs were many, as were the good-natured jibes about who was trying to cheat whom. These were good times, and though neither my wife nor I had seen Gordie for quite a few years, we will miss knowing that he is here; the world seems a little smaller knowing that he has gone.
