FIELD, Gordon Charles - Gordon was born August 22, 1933 in Sioux Lookout, Ontario. It is with great sadness that we announce his passing April 16, 2011 in Kelowna, B.C.

Gordon is survived by his loving wife of 55 years Mary Ann Elizabeth Field (nee Nystrom), his six children and their spouses: Gordon, Michael (Wendy), Kerry (Rosemary), Scott (Nina), Laurene (Dave) and Ljiljana. Ten Grandchildren: Kaitlin, Colby, Tyler (Kasey), Nicholas, Kenzie, Sean, Cassandra, Bryce, Carson and Spencer. 1 Great grandson: Connor. Gordon is also survived by his siblings: Evelyn (Bob), Ron (Betty) Lloyd (Gloria), Marlene (John) and Vivian. Predeceased by his parents Evelyn and Walter Field and brother Wally Field.

Gordon was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who loved to kid around with all who knew him. His passion and dedication to provide a great life for his wife and children were second to none! Dad could always be found reading his morning Province newspaper while having a good cup of coffee. He enjoyed watching his Canucks (maybe this year Dad!) and also enjoyed playing golf.

In accordance with Dad’s wishes there will be no service.

Donations to the Cancer Society or Central Okanagan Hospice House in Gordon’s memory are gratefully accepted.

God looked around his garden
and found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough
and the hills are hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered, “Peace be thine”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
