My Hobbies

I have used Photoshop for years to enhance old photos... remove scratches, restore original colour and so forth. Recently, my Grandson ask me to teach him how to use the program. Rather than look like a fool, I began studying Photoshop Elements 12 in depth. It has, it seems, infinite possibilities and a host of special features to master
As a consequence of studying, I can now boast that I know almost all it's special features. Here's a sample.

Obit Gord Roeder



ROEDER, Gordon Alan

Lovingly surrounded by family and friends throughout his entire illness, Gord was at peace when he passed away at home on Saturday, August 15, 2015. He joins his daughter, Lisa who predeceased him in 2004.

Gord leaves to mourn his passing, his loved and loving wife Nan (MacLean) his beloved daughter Carolyn Pucan (Jerry) of whom he was so proud, his son-in-law Bill George and the four grandchildren he cherished; Matt and Katie George, Meghan and Annie Pucan.

He will be dearly missed by his brother Robert (Dagmar), his sisters-in-law Barbara Johnston (Jim), Janice Kron (Helmut), Diane Williamson (Bryan) and his many nieces and nephews.

His family meant everything to him. It is difficult to truly thank the many family members, friends and neighbours whose care, compassion and support carried us as we progressed through Gord’s journey with cancer.

A special thank-you to Dr. Michael Foster, Dr. Ian Hodson and his radiation team at Juravinski, Karen Biggs, Nutritionist also at Juravinski, Occupational Therapist, Carole Hall and St. Elizabeth Visiting Nurses, in particular, Mary O’Gorman.
