Obituary for Gordon Lichty
Lichty, Gordon Dale
Peacefully at Sakura House in Woodstock on Sunday May 6, 2012, after a long struggle with cancer, at the age of 67. Loving husband and best friend of Linda (MacIntosh) Lichty of 45 years. Dear father of Kevin (Tara) and Dave (Bonnie). Proud Grampa of Devon, Brooklyn, Emma and Tyler. Remembered in love by his brother Cliff (Jacquie), sister Charlene (Murray) Weber, brother Brad (Rebecca), and step-mother, Olive Lichty. Also by his brothers-in-law, Ian (Barb) and Jim (Carol) MacIntosh. Uncle of Blaine (Tara), Desi, Trevor (Jenny), Kim (Steve), Christina (Trevor), Nicole and Kayla. Predeceased by his parents Arthur and Eunice (Kennel) and one brother, Chet. Gord was a skilled tradesman in the heating industry for over 43 years for Boehmers and Overland Plumbing & Heating. He will be missed by his friends at Family Paradise Campground where he spent 25 years of camping and enjoying his ‘down’ time around the evening campfires….his most favourite time of the day. A heartfelt thankyou to the many caregivers who helped Gord on his journey with cancer, including Grand River Cancer Centre, the chemo dept., Dr. Ruth Gingell-Potts and her staff, and the excellent care he received by the staff at Sakura House. We would also like to remember the Stratford CCAS, and a special thanks to his nurse, Victor, who helped pave the way for his comfort. Visitation will be held at the Mark Jutzi Funeral Home, 7 Spencer St., Milverton, on Tuesday May 8, from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm. The funeral service will be held at Poole Mennonite Church, Poole, at 11 am on Wednesday May 9. Pastor Paul Dyck officiating. Interment in the Church cemetery. Reception to follow. Donations to Poole Mennonite Church or Sakura House in Woodstock Ontario, would be greatly appreciated by his family
