With heavy hearts, the family of Gordon Lee announce his passing at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s, NL on July 14th 2017 at 11:11 am, after a short and courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by his loving family and friends.

After high school, he attended Lewisporte Trade School and became a journeyman welder. An exceptionally skilled tradesman, his career gave him the opportunity to travel across Canada and abroad. He was a proud, long time member of the Ironworkers Local 764. After retiring earlier this year, he would still often be found working on various welding projects in his shed, which he very much enjoyed.
Shortly after obtaining his welding ticket, he met his wife Ina. They began their life in Bay d’Espoir and later relocated to Blaketown, where they raised their family and resided until his passing. He loved his property and enjoyed many hours spent out meticulously landscaping his garden to perfection.
An extraordinarily clever and witty man, he will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 41 years, Ina. Their 3 children: Stephanie (Stephen), Tara (Daniel), Chris (Angie) and grandchildren Mackenzie, Yassee, Alexe and Mia, along with his 8 siblings: Gerald (Colleen), Herb (Ruby), Cyril (Thelma), Brenda, Gertie (Glenn), Vernon (Patsy), Jeannette (John), Kevin (Angela), brother and sister in law: Gene (Sarah) and Elaine, special friends Hayward and Carmel Russell, as well as an extended number of family and friends, will also be left to mourn.
