Obituary of GORDON GRISDALE

GORDON TERRENCE GRISDALE May 30, 1957 - March 26, 2015 Gordon Grisdale passed away peacefully on March 26th, shortly after speaking with the nurse, and doing some singing. Gordon is survived by his 9 brothers and sisters; Karen MacKenzie (Andy), Anne Simmons (Michael), Ericka Grisdale, Willi Grisdale (Jackie), John Grisdale (Gladys), Russell Grisdale (Christie), Clayton Shroeder, Dennis Schroeder and Steven Schroeder, as well as 49 nephews and nieces. Gordon was preceded in death by his Mother Madeline Grisdale, Cindy MacKenzie (Niece), Tammy Grisdale (Niece) and Randy Grisdale (Nephew). Over the last 3 years, Gordon attended Grace Point church whenever he could, and his church family will miss him dearly as well. He was a man of faith, and the church is thankful that he does not need to suffer anymore, but can celebrate with Jesus. Gordon was a very fun man, you could always count on him for a story or two, and for sure a wise crack...or six. Gordon struggled mightily with his health over the last number of years, which meant many visits to St. Boniface Hospital and Health Sciences Centre, and eventually meant a move to Parkview Care Home shortly before his passing. The family wishes to thank Parkview St. Boniface Hospital and Health Sciences Centre staff for their care for Gordon. Gordon’s Funeral service will take place at on Tuesday, April 7, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. at Grace Point, 137 Euclid Ave., with interment to follow at Glen Eden Cemetery.
