Gordon Joseph Lark
1924 - 2024
Passed away peacefully in Mississauga on Sunday, December 1, 2024 at the age of 100 years.
Born in Perth, Ontario. Gordon began a forty year career with Canadian Pacific Railway, interrupted by over two years as a proud member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Gordon was a very proud Veteran and was thrilled with his recent birthday letter from the King & Queen, as well as Veteran's Affairs Canada. He was honoured to be recognized at the recent Remembrance Day service as a 100 year old Veteran. Gordon had many interests, gardening, painting, the Blue Jays, fishing, and the Young & Restless. Gordon is an inspiration to us all. The memories of his kindness and goodness comfort us now.
Beloved husband of the late Muriel Lark who predeceased him on May 28, 2014 ( nee MacNaughton). They were married for over 67 years.
Loving father of Elaine Heeley (Richard), Evelyn Jantunen (Will) and Laurel Pautler (John). Cherished grandfather of Karen (Eric Schurer) , Kimberly (Jeff Cross), Thomas Jantunen ( Kelly) and Heather Heeley. Proud Great grandfather of Nathan, Wyatt, Paige, Liam, Anthony, Finnegan, Aiden, Sebastian and Talan. Dear Brother of Norma Cordick (Ted).
