Mr. Gordon Lloyd ‘Gord’ Smith passed away at the Innisfail Health Centre, Innisfail, Alberta, on the morning of Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at the age of 86 years. Gord was born to Frank and Margery Smith in 1934 at Regina, Saskatchewan. His first job was at a Dental Lab in Regina. Gord’s last place of employment was for Syncrude in Fort McMurray, Alberta. He retired in 1989, and relocated to Mundare, and Vegreville, Alberta, with his wife, Faith. Gord was known for arriving early and staying late at the places he worked. He never missed a single day of work and was rarely ill. In 1960, Gord married Faith of Peterborough, Ontario. Together they raised four daughters, Laurie, Angie and twins, Ruth and Carol. Gord was always on the go, riding his bicycle for miles, as a child. Later on, he became an avid car collector; he always had something interesting and different in the driveway. Gord was known by his friends and neighbors as a very positive guy, who always laughed and cracked silly jokes. He made people smile. During his retirement, he mowed countless lawns in the summer; and cleared snow in the winter months for neighbors, local businesses and his church, that he attended for over thirty years. He was always willing and available to lend a helping hand to strangers in need, with no expectations in return. Gord will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Faith, his four daughters, his eight grandchildren, and his six great grandchildren, as well as his sister, Marlene. Gord was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Margery, his step father, Bill, a step brother, Eugene and a sister, June. A Formal Service will not take place, but we do appreciate your love and support during this time.
