Gordon Douglas Nicholls

I'm Derrell Nicholls youngest of six son's of Gordon & Gloria Nicholls. I want to thank everyone for their kind words,thoughts and prayer's. I was really surprised when I read the post from Sheila Hoy and all the great memories she shared of the family throughout the years. Sheila if you read this and want to meet up for coffee let me know. nicholls8685@telus.net

I was helping a friend with her mom's service when I came across this Obituary. I was saddened to see it was the same Gord Nicholls whose sons' I went to high school with. I was further shocked & very sorry to see Bruce had predeceased him. I remember Bruce very well, always smiling & joking around. His dog Cuda, named after his car. I see he married Colleen, my heart goes out to her. It has been many years since I have seen any of the Nicholls boys & I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. All the boys thought highly of Gord, it was evident when they spoke of him. He was the "car guy" with a players cigarette in his mouth. He was the fisherman, who took his family to Quadra island every summer. I lost my dad in August, I know the sadness & memories that flood your days. Look after your mom, she raised 6 boys, I'm sure it wasn't easy. Rest in peace Mr. Nicholls, raise a glass with Bruce.

There are so many men That God gave us in our life Always calling them home again Only to live in the afterlife Gordon was one of these special men Who treasured all the tight things in his life His house, his home , his precious family Especially Gloria, his beautiful adoring wife He intensively listened to country music Not realizing he was singing along While he worked, conducting his passion and hobby Restoring old cars, back yo when they were strong If you ever needed a friend to lean on Gordon was always ready to lend a helping hand It did not matter what you needed help with He would always re adjust his plans Gordon lived his life to the fullest Making the absolute most of every day So, remember him with happy thoughts Please don't cry, he was just to tired to stay R.I.P Gordon you will be greatly missed

Gloria is my youngest sister we were always close so when she married Gordon he also became close.He was very caring toward other people & fam.worked afternoons quite often so did my hus.Our hubbies phoned us every night when they got the chance Gloria & me would sit on the phone talking one night GORD got so mad pulled the phone out of wall .Next day Glor.as we called her had tel'fixed & call waiting installed .That little sister of mine was so smart .We would talk till Gord phoned hang up then continue when he hung up .When my man phoned he would phone her & ask her to hang up so he could talk to his wife.I miss the phone calls almost everyday from the nursing home when Randy & glor. would phone I got to talk to him sometimes he said hi, one time he actually said my name I feel absolutely blessed to have known him & been part of his fam.Love to all stay strong look after your Mom for him

So sorry for the loss of your husband or Dad . Here's hoping that knowing Gordon is hurting anymore gives you all some solice. He was a very brave man, fighting right to the end. Always remember he took a little piece of each of his loved ones ,along with him to heaven . He will be very sadly missed by many .He will always be with all of you, in your hearts, and in your warm memories of him. R.I.P Gordon.
