    Our condolences to the entire Duda Family. Life long friends of the Krzysik Family. My mom always had a special place in her heart for the Duda "kids" and family. It is not easy to say farewell to a child, a brother, a husband, a father, an uncle and a grandfather. Thinking of you all and our condolences. Basisty Family

    Dear Helen, Mary-Jean, Martin, Jim, Daniel & Families. We are so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Gordon. You may not believe this but you people have been on my mind all this week, not knowing what what happening in your lives. Guess it was God's way of communicating with us that Gord was on his journey home.You all were and always will be that special family to us as you so readily shared your home and your family with us back in the sixties. You all have a very special place in our hearts. We pray that God may comfort you during this difficult time in your lives. Special condolences go out to Amber and family. Please know that you are being remembered in our thoughts and prayers. With love and sincere condolences from Nelly & Pat

    Dear Amber & Family What a shock to read about Gord. There is nothing that we can say that will make things easier but our prayers and thoughts are with you. Memories are so important now and later. We are sure you have many. Lots of Love, Maxine & Laurel

    We are so sorry for your loss. We both remember Gord as a caring, thoughtful and polite man. I don't believe it was in his nature to be otherwise. He will always be fondly remembered by us.

    So sorry for your loss, From the first time I shook Gordons hand and talked with him I knew him as a Friend and for many times we meet after he always remembered and asked about my family. Our Family hopes you can find your way after loosing such a strong person as Gordon. Ken & Iris Potts

    Amber I was away and just heard of Gord's death, other wise I would have been at the funeral to say good bye to Gord and to have given you a big hug. From the first time I met Gord we became fast friends. His infectious laugh always made my day. We often "solved" all the worlds problems and always knew if people just listened to us the world would be so much better. When you two moved away, we lost touch for a bit but when ever we saw each other it was just like we had never been away. Recently every morning I would look forward to his emails, which brightened my day. I know I am a better person because I could call Gordie my friend. Please know I am holding you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Amber and Family, We just heard of Gord's passing and are so sorry for your loss. I (Ron) always enjoyed talking with Gord. He was always cheerful and had many entertaining stories to relate. Barb and I enjoyed the time we spent together on the trips and the last time we went for dinner in Red Deer. When we hear a Johnny Cash song, we think of our bus tour on Maui and smile. I never could beat the son of a gun at crib!!! LOL. He will certainly be missed. Ron and Barb Angyal
