    I had to stop listening to his music after my divorce. I learned he died in a text message from my estranged daughter, who I hadn't heard from in 11 years. She said she heard he died and she broke down crying. She remembered me singing his songs when she went to work with me. We are due to meet up to get reacquainted this Summer.

    I am also from Orillia and Gord and my dad were friends. When I was a little kid, he came by our house. Sitting on our couch, he pulled out his 12 string and played Sundown and Pussywillows and Cattails! It was so inspirational that as I got older, I taught myself to play guitar and have been playing now for almost 50 years. We may miss him but he.left us with his greatest gift; his music. RIP Gord!

    Heard "Sundown" on a transistor radio in the 70s as a little kid. Still remember being entranced by the sound of the guitar & hypnotized by the lyrics even though they went way over my 5 or 6 year old head. Growing up around the Great Lakes in Chicago, you appreciate the terrifying beauty of winter storms on the water and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" spoke especially to people like me. RIP Gordon 😞
