C. Gordon KITCHEN

KITCHEN, C. Gordon; Major-General (Retired) - At the Kingston General Hospital on March 9, 2008 at the age of 77. Cherished husband of Joan (nee Honderich) for 55 years. Much loved father of: David (Kellie), Robert (Donna), John (Nancy) & Heather (Rick). Dear brother of Dorothy Poynter and the late Harold Kitchen. Doting Grandad to: Matthew, Andrew, Kathryn, Lyndsay, Zoe, Gregory, Christopher, Stephen, Emma, Jessica, James, Nicholas, Sophie & Harriet. Gord enjoyed a remarkably rich life. A proud soldier, diplomat, sportsman and author; his accomplishments were many, yet he valued most his countless friendships made. He was undoubtedly happiest up at Aylen Lake; canoeing through the early morning mist, puttering through his daily task list, mentoring aspiring young fishermen, and presiding over raucous family dinners. A private family service will be held, while a memorial service and celebration of his life will follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society through the PAUL G. PAYNE FUNERAL HOME, Box 324, Odessa, On K0H 2H0 613-386-7373 or pgpaynefh@cogeco.ca 11015451
