Peacefully, with great dignity, surrounded by family after a courageous battle with an illness. Gordon lived a very full life, traveling extensively, and sharing the company of many close friends both in Canada and in Mexico. He ran a local successful business for many years and gave his time generously to numerous service clubs. He was a very passionate sports fan who loved the game of golf and the 19th hole. Gordon chose his own path in life, and left the earth loved by his family with no regrets. Gordon was predeceased by his parents, Walter Wells and Margaret Colquhoun, his first wife Diane Marie Koss (1941-1991), his second wife Maureen and his brother Donald. Loving father of Jim Wells (Tammy), Scott Wells (Joanne), Kellee Heron (Mark), Ron Wells (Sandra) and step-daughter Jennifer Healey (Kevin).
