As published in the May 27, 2013 World-Spectator
Gordon E. Rose of Red Deer, Alta. passed away at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at the age of 86 years.
Gordon was born on the home farm near Manson, Man., where he also graduated from grade 11. Gordon continued his education, receiving a diploma in Agriculture from the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. His employment took him from the farm to Moosomin and on to High River, Innisfail and Red Deer, Alta.
Gordon took great pride in coaching his sons in the sports he once participated in, hockey and baseball; he was an avid fan of the Red Deer Riggers, attending as many games as he was able to.
Gordon will be lovingly remembered by his wife Lavina (Viney) Rose; children Ron (Rita) Rose of Red Deer, Brian (Val) Rose of Moosomin, Sherry (Eric) Shire of Moosomin and Richard (Deb) Rose of Red Deer; 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Gordon will also be missed by his sisters Marion Ferri of Rockport, Texas and Kay Logan of Virden, Man.
Gordon was predeceased by his parents Percy and Helen Rose; brother Lorne; and sisters Shirley (in infancy) and Verna Leinweber. At a later date, a private memorial service will be held at Red Deer and interment will be held in Manson.
In honour of Gordon, donations may be made to a charity of one's choice. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com. Arrangements in care of Rhian Solecki, funeral director at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287-67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040
