"I'm writing to inform you that Gord Gilbert passed away after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.

Could you please pass on this news to his bowling buddies."

Thanks,

From Dave Burrows:

"Gord will be remembered by Donna and me for his joy of bowling, and his hearty laugh.  Gord won District 7 Novices both in 1997 and 1998.  Condolences to his family and to the Guelph Lawn Bowling Club."

And from all his bowling buddies.

Dear Friends:

At Woodstock LBC we held a moment of silence for Gord today (Wednesday). The bowlers decided to wear whites at his service on Thursday. So, if you are attending Gord's service on Thursday at 10 a.m., please wear whites in solidarity and please pass this on to other friends/bowlers who plan to be there. Here are the details from his obit in the Guelph Mercury newspaper:
