Great Grandpa Gordon

We just got back from a week in Alberta - we had not planned to make such an early trip back home with Max but unfortunately Carmon's Grandpa, Gordon Blacklock passed away on April 3rd.  This was a sad week but a great opportunity to catch up with so many family members that we had not seen for a long time and to introduce Max to everyone.  Max's middle name, Thomas, is actually Grandpa Gordon's first name - he had decided that he preferred to be called Gordon over Thomas early on.  I am so glad that we chose to honour Gordon and we will be sure to tell Max lots of stories about his very special Great Grandpa.

An unfortunate situation for you guys to come up. He was named after a great man, to bad he never got to meet him. RIP Grampa Blacklock. I hear you are coming up again this summer. We hope to make it out then. We are looking forward to meeting your little man.
