Gordon (“Gordy”) Edward Dickson, 52, of Fort Frances, Ont., passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospital on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014 with his family by his side.
Gordy was born Nov. 2, 1961 in Atikokan, Ont. to Gordon Sr. and Ruth Dickson.
Gordy loved life, laughter, the outdoors, his camp, his trade, and his family and friends. He lived his life every day and enjoyed everything his way.
Gordy was a member of Local 628 since 1983 as a steam fitter.
His last few months were very difficult after developing a rare blood disorder. The Lord saw there was no cure and took our brother, uncle, son, and friend home to be with Him.
Gordy will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Ruth Gresko; his loving friend, Marna; sisters; Donna (Pat) MacNeil, Barbara (Jack) Witiluk, and Janet (Travis Northcott) Margarit.
Numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins also survive.
Gordy was predeceased by his father, Gordon Dickson; and by his favourite companion, Lady.
Funeral services were held Monday, Sept. 22, 2014 at 11 a.m. in the Chapel of the Harbourview Funeral Center in Thunder Bay, Ont.
In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations made to the Northern Cardiac Fund (TBRHSC), the Alzheimer’s Society Thunder Bay Chapter, St. Joseph’s Care Group, or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
