SGT. (RETD.) GORDON DEWART MORRISON M.S.M. C.D. Resident of Sherwood Park, AB died at age 42 on 4 Feb 2009 at U of A Hospital of complications from an accident. Born 7 April 1966 at Peterborough, ON, son of Duke and Isabel, Gord attended PCVI with the 1984 grad class. He joined the RCR where he attained the rank of Sergeant and through his outstanding performance under difficult and dangerous circumstances and in keeping with the finest traditions of his Regiment and of the Canadian Forces., was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal. PRO PATRIA After several years as a stay at home dad, Gord craved structure and camaraderie and he found it with Lord Strathcona's Horse. Although he enjoyed the armoured corps for several years, Deidra needed him to be home. PERSEVERANCE Again, after some time as a stay at home dad and nurturing his ailing wife, Gord turned, as many ex- service members do, to the Commissionaires. This was the perfect balance and he enjoyed it there very much. He spoke with much pride of his work at the Brownlee Building where he was last posted. TRUSTED-EVERYDAY- EVERYWHERE Gord's wife Deidra Laura Tattersall passed away 29 Dec 2008. He is survived by their 2 sons, Duncan and Conor.
