It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gordon Robert Eric Osborne on January 14th 2021 after a long battle with cancer.  Gordon was born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, on October 2nd, 1945 where he very much enjoyed the outdoor rinks and playing hockey with his cousins.  The family moved to Vancouver in 1955.  Through the years Gordon worked in sales and as a Longshoreman for over 30 years.  It was here he met his best friends Gibb (Lorretta) Murray and Paul (Carrie) Levesque.  Gordon retired to beautiful Sunnybrae in the Shuswap where he spent his final years.
