Obituary of Gordon William MacDonald, P.Eng.

After a very rich, full life, Gord passed away peacefully at Lisaard Hospice in Cambridge. Predeceased by his beloved wife Lorna (1 April 2015). He leaves an amazing legacy of hard work, laughter, travel adventures, creativity, love of the cottage and sailing, lifelong volunteering (including 25 years delivering Meals on Wheels), and jokes?!? Preserving his wonderful spirit are son Richard (Karen), and three grandchildren: Shelley (Darcy), Greg (Melissa) with great-granddaughters Hailey and Shayla, and Mike (Jenn), all of Calgary. He will be fondly missed by his daughter Heather (Ted) Wakeling of Waterloo and the extended Wakeling family (including 5 great-grandchildren), and Shirley Thomson and family. Very special thanks to Pat for her amazing support over the last few years, and to the caring community at Luther Village, where Gord has lived for the past 6 years. A private family service will be held. Condolences for the family and donations to Lisaard Hospice may be arranged through the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home, Waterloo by calling 519-745-8445 or www.erbgood.com.
