Gordon worked at Algoma Steel for many years prior to his retirement where he made many lifelong friendships. After retirement, Gordon spent much of his time gardening. He loved music all his life and played various instruments, but his passion was playing the piano. Gordon was a devoted organist of the Bar River United Church for most of his life. He had a wicked sense of humor that was highly entertaining to all who knew him, yet he also had a loving and compassionate heart and offered kind words to others and lifted the spirits of many who needed it. A Celebration of Life will be held at Bar River Hall (14 Lapish Rd, Echo Bay) on Wednesday August 10 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations (made payable by check or online) to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted to Arthur Funeral Home – Barton & Kiteley Chapel (492 Wellington St. East 705-759-2522) Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.arthurfuneralhome.com for the Evoy family.
