Wood
Gordon G. Wood "Papa" , 77, long-time resident of Lindsay, passed away on February 20, 2023. He is survived by the Saunders Family, his cousins from Britain and Best Friend Monty.
Some people may think differently but Gordon Wood was truly such a smart, talented and kind man! He may have had his stubborn ways and at times was very opinionated, but when you developed a strong relationship with him, that bond was and continues to be unbreakable. To Chaniece, "Papa", was a big part of her life and always will be even though his soul has left this physical world. “He has been my rock and my biggest supporter for my whole life and because of him I have accomplished so much. He has always encouraged me and guided me down that path of success and for that I am truly grateful.” He will be remembered for his ability to grow the most beautiful flowers and the freshest tomatoes on the block. He always managed to get everyone's attention with the vibrant colors of his flowers outside his Lindsay apartment building and on his property in Fenelon Falls. He wasn't always the most talkative man but when you did have a conversation with him, he knew how to make you smile. “My Papa was not only a grandfather but a very good friend to many. Papa, You will be missed Very much! Until we meet again, much love from your granddaughter and the family left behind”.
When your pain has subsided without a trace
When there's nothing but peace etched on your face
As you join with your mother in enteral embrace
I will smile for you
I will smile for you
When you pass from the darkness into the light
When the Lord holds his hands out and helps you take flight
When all that you feel is joyful and right
I will smile for you
I will smile for you
Good Bye Dear Friend.
A Celebration of Gordon’s life will be held at a later date in the warmer months of this year when the flowers are fully in bloom.
