Gordon’s family … I am so sorry to hear of Gordon’s passing. I knew him through the Bow Valley Toastmasters Club and his work at the Mustard Seed. He had that wonderful voice that took over the room every time he spoke. He inspired many Bow Valley members who became much better speakers and who used their skills to improve their lives in so many ways.
He initiated the Speechcraft program at the Mustard Seed. To me and the other volunteers who helped with the program, it completely changed our views of the homeless and near homeless. I think we all learned to understand their skills, their humour and above all, their resilience. From the feedback we got, I am sure we made a difference in their lives. Gordon was rightly proud of what he started there.
Again, past and present Bow Valley members send our deepest sympathy to all of his family. He will be remembered and missed.
