Obituary of Gordon David Jones

With uncharacteristic quiet, Gordon Jones left us in the early morning of August 4th, 2016, a month shy of his 76th birthday. He's gone to join his beloved wife Michele. He leaves behind much pride and joy: his two daughters Sharon and Liz (Lizzie or Lizzie Lou); their husbands Simon and Jeff; and most joyous of all, his four precious grandchildren: Charlotte, William, Ethan and Kendall. Known by many as 'the big tough firefighter', Gord made friends with everyone he met and will be dearly missed by a great many people; too many to name, all with a funny story to tell. Brave, kind, fun loving, mischievous. We'll miss you Dad, Gord, Jonas, Jonesy, Grandpa, Poppa. A Celebration of Gord's life will take place on Saturday, September 10th. The family will host an open house from 2 - 6 p.m. at the Port Perry Latcham Centre, 121 Queen Street (at the base of Queen, behind the Old Mill). We will have an informal "Gord Stories" ceremony starting at 4 p.m. If desired, memorial donations may be made by cheque through the WAGG FUNERAL HOME, 216 Queen Street in Port Perry (905-985-2171) to the Port Perry Hospital Foundation or the Salvation Army.
