Above is the first and last picture of Gord

Always in my heart and thoughts 

              Gordon H Allan was born on Sept.30th 1946
in Guelph, Ontario and sadly passed away
on June 11th 2007, after a very courageous
battle with cancer.
This website was created to honor his
memory and the legacy he left behind.
Gord was and is still a much loved
and respected man. He was a friend to all
and never failed to lend a helping hand,
others always came first in his life, and we
will never forget the man he was. The cancer
was stealing his life but not his spirit, he never
gave up, he hid his pain like a true hero and
always had a smile. not a day goes by that he
isn't missed. he was a loving husband and a
doting father, also the very proud Popa of
seven wonderful grandchildren. He leaves
behind a large circle of family and friends
who will miss him terribly.
Rest in Peace, my darling
"WE LOVE YOU "

This picture of Gordon was taken in March 2007, one month later we were told the cancer was back, and spreading rapidly, we were suspicious as his eyes were bothering him, in the sunlight and he had some double vision. He could no longer drive,  and that was hard as he was always the chauffer, sadly in less than 3 months this awful disease took the life of a wonderful man.

I made this for you to say

"The light from your love will shine

forever more in the eyes of your

children and grandchildren

and your loving wife Jennifer"

and in our hearts you'll always stay.

In a dream you came to me
Your smiling face I did see.
You said, “Please Don’t Cry,”
I have wings and I can fly.”
I said, “But I miss you so
Why was it you that had to go?”
You looked at me with such love
And said, “I answered a call from above”
I replied, “I needed you here.”
Your response erased my fear.”
“I promise we’ll be together one day
For all eternity it will be that way.
Heaven is beautiful, one day you’ll see
That life in Paradise sets you free.
So enjoy your life, and I will wait
Till I greet you at Heaven’s Gate.”.

The Message" 

Everything is different since
you've gone away
My heart keeps on breaking
Just a little more each day.

Don't look at this as the end
But just the very start
Together for eternity
Never again to be apart.

But I feel so angry
That God took you away
I'm so scared and lonely
And miss you every day.

Please know I didn't leave you
I loved you all so much
One day we'll be together
To see, to feel, to touch.

You say you didn't leave
Then why am I so blue?
How can I get through the day
When I need to talk to you.

I'm here and I will listen
My love did not depart
Ask anything that you want
And I will answer in your heart.

Gordon loved life and he lived it to the fullest. He loved
 the great outdoors and there was always a sport or
activity he would take part in, he ran through-out the year
in winter he skiied and played hockey and in summer he
would swim at our home on the beach, bike and walk
for hours. During the last year when the cancer had spread
to the bones, it slowed him down but never stopped him.
I always admired his strength and courage a lesser man
would of given up but Gord fought to the end. He never
once said "Why Me" but was so greatful for the 60 years
of happiness he did have. He told everyone that he had
no regrets, he accomplished everything in life he wanted.
His only thoughts at the end was how this would affect his family, would we be alright, could we accept this and go
on with our lives. Gord was surrounded by his family when
he slipped away and through tears we promised him we would try, we will make him proud

The day after Gordon passed away (June12/07) a
beautiful Blue Jay came and sat on our patio table
while all our family was sitting around talking. It
sat for awhile taking peanuts that we gave it, then
flew away. The Blue Jay came back everyday for a 
week and we continued to feed it and then it left and
we never saw it again. The Blue Jay had a distinctive
light grey marking on its chest, the shape of a heart.
Our Family took this as a sign from Gord 
(an AngelWink)that he was free(from pain)
 and soaring as he was meant too. 
It lifted our spirits and will continue 
to give us sense of peace.

Gordon was predeceased by his parents Chester and Florence Allan

and 2 of his sisters Muriel Lang and Helen Wesno
