Obituary of Gordon Arnold Walsh

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Gordon Arnold Walsh (“Bandit”) at the age of 68 after a brief yet fierce battle with cancer. He was in the comfort of his own home with the love of his family surrounding him. Husband to Charlotte (née McLeod), the love of his life for the past 48 years. Loving Dad of Rick and Tracy (Rob Gordon). Proud Papa of Dylan and Brady. Survived by his siblings Ida (the late Owen) Bice, Jim (Elda) Walsh, Betty Matthews, and Marjorie (the late Bob) Harris. Gord will be forever remembered by his extended family and many friends.

Operation: Kick Cancer’s Ass didn’t have the outcome we hoped. But cancer didn’t win. Gord won at life. We won at love. As he always said: “Never say whoa in a bad spot”.
