Gordon Moffat GASKIN

GASKIN, Gordon Moffat February 29, 1920 - September 8, 2008 Gordon Gaskin passed away peacefully on Monday, September 8, 2008, at Signal Pointe Nursing Home at the age of 88 years. After a long battle with Alzheimer's, Gordon and his wife Donna immigrated to Calgary in 1992 to enjoy their twilight years. He was a very strong and independent man who loved to read and complete crosswords. He loved food, especially when his daughter Kate cooked for him, which continued even during the years he battled Alzheimer's. Gordon loved his children and adored his grandchildren, who affectionately referred to him as "Grandidlidoodlio". Gordon is survived by his five children: Margaret, Ray, Kate, Emme and Gordon; sons-in-law: Ian and Robert; daughter-in-law Sheila; grandchildren: Simon, Helen, Jemma, Lee, Sarah, Darren, Sharron, Michael, Gillian, Donna and David, and great-grandchildren: Sofie, Olivia, Ella, Caius, Courtney, Mia, Sienna, Roxanne and Ellis. He was predeceased by his wife Elizabeth (Donna) Gaskin in 1993. Dad, you will be sadly missed, but remembered with affection. In honouring Gordon's wishes, there will be no Funeral Service. The family will hold a Celebration of Gordon's Life in the near future. His family would like to thank Signal Pointe Nursing Home for everything they did for their father during his battle with Alzheimer's.
