Gord was always insightful and ready to help. Joan's Aunt Leila and Uncle Don loved him from the moment they met Gord. The family always looked forward to the Kitchen's visits to the farm near Belmont, Ontario. We are so glad we had a visit with both Joan and Gord this spring.

Uncle Gord was truly one of the good guys. He will be missed greatly. Very nice memorial video brought back a lot of good memories.

sincere condolences Joan, David and Jennifer, Gordie was/is my first cousin. I remember him well as children spending time at our grandparents and his parents homes in Poplar Point. Unfortunately we moved to Alberta and didn't get a chance to connect again. I hope your memories together will help in the future.

This one sure hits home! Gord and I were close boyhood friends since grade one at Poplar Point. The close group we hung with enjoyed life together from grade school, over our teenage years and well into our twenties. Sad to say, over time we had lost touch and as so often happens,life has led us down separate paths.

Even though I haven't seen my old pal for many years,I still consider him a special friend and will forever cherish the numerous memories and adventures of our formative years together!

Sincere condolences, Joan, David and Jenny!

Condolences to Joan and family.

Always enjoyed any time we spent with Gord and Joan.

Cherish your memories.

Lee was a fellow Land Surveyor & we have many memories of times together with Gord & Joan at Manitoba Land Surveyors Annual Meetings.

Thinking of you & your Family Joan🦋

My condolences to Joan and the family

I also knew Gord as a surveyor, coworker at Surveyor General of Canada and as a co volunteer with him at our 125th celebrations as the first survey org in the western hemispere. Miss him alot.

Terribly sorry to hear ogf Gord's passing. Spent part of my early Survey carreer , they werre fun years and Gird was fun be arround.

Helped me immensely in my carrer choice.

I knew Gord as a fellow member of the Association of Manitoba Land Surveyors. Gord contributed to the profession in many ways but I remember him as a kind and thoughtful guy. My condolences to Joan and family.

My condolences to Joan and family. Gord made significant contributions to the surveying profession, both in his work and through his dedicated service to the Association, highly respected by his peers.

A best friend has lost the best dad. Rest in peace dear man. My sincerest condolences to your grieving family. Sorrow shared is sorrow diminished.

Gordon was a colleague at Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. He was always pleasant to work with and could always be counted on for help and advice. I will remember him as one of the good people I met during my career with the Government of Canada.

We are saddened to hear of Gord's passing

we had many good years

With him.

We have known Gord and Joan (worked at the bank with Joan) for over 60 years. Gord was always a gentleman and great husband, father and grandfather. He had a wonderful sense of humour. We will miss you Gord.

Liz and Mike Crane and family.

Mrs. Kitchen, Jen and Dave,

Sincere condolences. My very first neighbours 🙂 Even to this day, the house next door to our old house in Southdale will always be "The Kitchens". Thank you for always having me to your home. Mr. Kitchen always liked to tease me as I'm sure he teased the kids' friends but I got to know the glint in his eye when he was as I got older 😄

May your memories guide you through your grief. The photos are lovely. Thank you for sharing ❤️

We remember Gord with great fondness and respect. We enjoyed many dinners with Gord and Joan at Nutimik Lake and they were so good to our kids. Rest in peace Gord❤️

Joan, David, Jenn & Family.

I am so sorry to hear of Gords passing. All the memories come flooding in back to day when he hired this little ol Manitoba girl from the NWT. He knew I wanted to come home and he made it happen. I worked for Gord for 8 years and then with him even longer. He always kept a watchful eye over me, especially when I was pregnant. He was not only a boss but a friend. He will be so missed by so many, both family and friends. Condolenses from myself and Brad.

We met Gord & Joan at the lake many years ago. We spent a lot of good times golfing & playing cards together. Gord was known as "The Crib King". We will miss him. Our deepest condolences to Joan & family

So very sorry to hear of Gords passing. Such a nice caring man. Such wonderful neighbors at the lake. Condolences to your entire family. You are missed.

So sorry to hear of Gord's passing

He will be missed.

Condolences to the entire family
