Gordon Wood

In loving memory we celebrate the life of Gordon Robert Wood who passed away in Banff, AB. surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Gordon will be remembered by his wife Wendy Wood of Canmore;

son Jason of Calgary; daughter Annette Stewart (Wood) and husband Tom of Edmonton; three grand daughters Sabrina, Nicole and Shannon and great granddaughter Triniti. He is also survived by his sister Virginia (Eddie) of Shell Lake, Sask. brother-in-law Julius Huszar and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Gordon was born on the farm at Wood Hill, Saskatchewan.

He was predeceased by his parents Kenneth and Margaret Wood, sibling twins James and Margaret and one sister Alice.

Gordon first fell in love with Canmore when he arrived with his bride in 1971. They raised their family in small town Didsbury until 1992, then moving to Banff. After a short stay in Creston, BC, they returned to Canmore to once again enjoy mountain living. During his life,

he worked at a variety of different jobs, the last one being at

Brewster Transportation.

Gordon enjoyed spending time with family and friends, sharing stories and fond memories of old times.

Our thanks goes out to Drs. Shigeishi and Clem and staff at St. Martha's Place long term care in Banff for the wonderful care provided to Gordon over the years and to the staff in the Mineral Springs Hospital for the care provided in the last days. You are all doing jobs you were meant

to do. We say a huge thanks to all who stopped by for a visit and the prayers and messages of support sent.
