Gordon Busch

Gordon Ole Busch

April 5, 1937- July 14, 2018 

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, Giga, and great Giga on July 14, 2018.

Gordon will be lovingly missed by Mary, his wife of 50 years. Left to treasure his memories are his daughters Sylvia (Bob) Bastable and families; Karen (Ron) Warcimaga and grandchildren Kendall (Chad) Krut, Kyle (Chelsey) Warcimaga; great grandchildren Davis, Carys, and Dexter Krut, and Taylor and Emmeline Warcimaga; his sister Linda Fecek, and many nieces, nephews, close relatives and cherished friends.  

Gordon was born in Camper, Manitoba. He had an incredible work ethic and ability for helping others. He was very proud of operating Gimli Feed Service for 32 years. In addition to serving his customers, he made many lifelong friends.

Gordon enjoyed a busy retirement, which included volunteer driving. He was affectionately known as “MapQuest” because he would drive you anywhere at any time.

Gordon enjoyed the company of his family and friends. He was very proud of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all of their achievements. His car was the first one in the parking lot at every event.

The family thanks the EMS responders, the staff at St. Boniface ICU, and Dr. Zoppa and the staff at Selkirk Regional Health Centre, who provided heartfelt care and compassion throughout his stay.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gordon’s memory to the Interlake-Eastern Health Foundation for the SRHC by mail to the Selkirk Regional Health Centre, PO Box 5000, 120 Easton Drive, Selkirk, Mb. R1A 2M2 or online at www.iehf.ca or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, 1379 Kenaston Blvd, Winnipeg MB, R3P 0Y4.

A celebration of Gordon’s life will be held on Friday, July 27th at 11:00 am at the Gilbart Funeral Chapel, 309 Eveline Street, Selkirk, Manitoba.

“Always a smirk, a twinkle in the eye, or a story to share”
