Extending our Sincere Sympathy and Friendship. Wishing you Comfort and Peace. Geraldine Thompson ( Phillips ) and Family.
Condolence to ALL family members. I phoned Uncle Gordon in late 2017 and we had a GOOD visit.
I’m Dorothy’s daughter, so sorry to hear about uncle Gordon I remember him visiting us quite often when I was young, he was my favourite uncle, such a nice man. I’m sure you will all miss him very much.
I am sorry to hear that Mr. Phillips has passed on. I had the honor of caring for him at the hospital so many years ago. I have many fond memories of both him and Blitz. We shared many laughs together. I was even invited for dinner years later when I was passing through Alberta. I again had the chance to see him again about 5 years ago when visiting a cousin in Didsbury. I called him occasionally and was always happy to hear his voice. He was a special gentle man. May he Rest In Peace.
