Dear Ruth and family: I was saddened to learn of Gordon's death. Memories of earlier times in radio when we were all young came flooding back. I hope you will take comfort in the good times you shared. How wonderful to have had so many years together! Sincerely, Leona Stilling, Saskatoon

My condolences to Gordon's family. I knew Gordon briefly while I was a student at the University of Sask. and hosted a music program on the new FM station on campus. It was a wonderful oppportunity to try our 'radio' skills at a time when the station only broadcast on campus. Gordon was patient with so many inexperienced students.

I first met Gordon when he was Station Manager at CJUS and I was an on-air host. Over the years, I came to admire and respect him, as he was a true gentleman. As a founding member of Saskatoon's Community Radio station (CFCR), I witnessed the many hours that Gordon devoted to helping us prepare our application to the CRTC. Several years later, as Station Manager of CFCR, I found myself emulating Gordon in the performance of my daily duties at the station. Gordon and Ruth continued to support CFCR over the years by way of financial donations. My sincere condolences to the Walburn family on the loss of a most inspirational man. Sincerely, Ron Spizziri, Saskatoon
