    Obituary for Gordon Mason McVeety
    McVeety, Gordon Mason
    (long time Lock Master, Narrows Lock, Rideau Canal)
    Gord McVeety passed away at the age of 78 years on January 11, 2013. He was the much loved father of Cathy McVeety (Rob) Marshall of Houston, Texas, Steven (Mary) McVeety of Perth, and Marcy McVeety (Philip) Whitney of Hinton, Alberta. Gord was the cherished brother of Lois (Bob) Leishman of Wolfeville, NS. Gord will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Sarah and Rebecca Marshall, Graham and Amara McVeety, Chelsea, Isaac and John Whitney. Gord will be remembered for his love of the Big Rideau Lake. Living just down the road from his ancestral home on the Rideau where he was born, his life was spent living, working and playing in what he called "the greatest place on earth". What made it even greater was the company of his family and friends especially the faithful companionship of his four legged friends. He was never without a dog. Gord was a kind and generous man, who was happy to share whatever he had and do whatever he could to help others. Gord would say some of his best years were those working as a Lock Master on the Rideau Canal. He combined that love with his passion to help sick children by holding annual summer BBQ's at the Narrows Lock for 20 years. Through the sale of hamburgers and hotdogs in the summer and full course dinners at dances held in the spring, Gord was proud to have raised over $50,000 for CHEO. The cause was worthy but the people came primarily because of the personal invitation of a man they greatly admired. Gord will be sorely missed. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St W., Perth on Tuesday January 15th, 2013 from 2:00 to 5:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. The funeral service will be held privately for the family. In remembrance, contributions to C.H.E.O. or the Lanark Animal Welfare Society would be appreciated.

    Gordon married Margaret McAdam on 22 Nov 1955. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
