We Remember
FROHLICK, Gordon
—
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Gordon on Saturday, May 3, 2014. Gord was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on October 5, 1944 and was a proud Saskatchewan Roughrider fan. Golf was his passion and he loved his golf course at Sunset Ranch as well as the winters he spent in Palm Springs. Lovingly remembered by his wife Jane; son Jason and daughter-in-law Shannon; daughter Joanne and his grandsons Ethan and Jacob; his brother Bob and sister-in-law Mary Lynn, brother Ricky, sister-in-law Melva and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents John and Magdalene and brother Adie. Missed, but never forgotten, a piece of Gord will always be carried in the hearts of his family and friends. There will be a time of visitation on Wednesday, May 7th from 4:00 to 5:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. A Celebration of Life will be held at Sunset Ranch Golf and Country Club, 5101 Upper Booth Road, on Thursday, May 8th at 3:30 pm. As Gord was known for his colourful golf attire, we encourage you to wear yours. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9.

Condolences
Jane, Joanne, Max & family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Gord’s passing. I had spoken to Gord often but had no idea what a character he was until his 65th party. Lots of laughs, all at his expense of course. He and Bob solved the problems of the world, while Gord was supposedly taking Max for his afternoon saunter. Come to think of it, he did the same thing with Shandi too. I always wondered why it took Bob so long to cut the grass. We will miss him. Our thoughts are with you, Jane.
Jane and family – Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss Gord walking Max past our house, telling him to “behave” when all Max wanted to do was say hello to his four legged friends. Know that you are surrounded my many friends and neighbors who are there for you.
Joanne and Family, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
My heart goes out to the Frohlick family at this time. I will remember Gord for his generous hospitality and his skill at the bbq.
Tom and I hope you are able to find comfort in family and friends during this very difficult time.
With sadness, Tracey Wilson and Tom Partel
Although we lost touch over the years we remember Gord fondly. We have lots of great memories. Our prayers & thoughts are with you.
Jane, always know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. I have such loving memories of Gordie. Both of you will always be very special to me. Love, Sandi
Although we have lost touch over the years we remember Gord fondly. We have lots of great memories. Our prayers & thoughts are with you.

Jane, Joanne,Jason & Max. Words cannot adequately express our feelings. We truly loved Gordie, and were so very glad that you guys became part of our life when we bought our place at Mesquite. I am very happy that I was able to take Gord to the Classic club for a round of golf. We both played well, but as usual, he played better. I could not figure out how to take a selfie of the two of us during the round, but here is a picture from the course. It was truly a special day that we both thoroughly enjoyed. While Ruth and I will not be physically in attendance Thursday to celebrate his life, we will be with you in spirit, and will make sure to raise a glass in his honor.
Love to you all,
Ruth and Mark

Jane, Joanne and Jason – So very sad to hear the news of Gord’s passing. Your family has always welcomed us in like one of your own, especially when we were living away from ours. For that we are always grateful. We’ve lost touch over the last few years but fond memories last forever. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

Jane,
I am your condo neighbor in Palm Springs. We own the unit where Don and Betty Cochran stay in the winter.
My thoughts are with you as I heard of the passing of Gordy. I spoke to him last month when he was walking your dog. He was always so friendly and such a nice person.
Thinking of you with warm thoughts.
Best,

Jane, Ruth and Mark called today to tell us of your sadness. Roger and I have so many memories of both you and Gord with Max. You were the first people we met at the Mesquite and we always appreciated being included on Fridays at the clubhouse. We both have such fond memories of both of you. We will miss Gord very much and are thinking of all of you with very heavy hearts. Take care of yourselves and Max.
Love, Bev and Roger

Dear Jane, Joanne and Jason.
Sally and I are so sorry to hear of Gord’s passing. I enjoyed the times I spent with Gord during my time with Trail years ago! He was quite a character who will be remembered.

Glad we have the memories of Gordie we will never forget the laughs and good times
Jane and Family
We were greatly saddened to learn of Gordie’s passing. Palm Springs for us will never be quite the same. Always the organizer and social convener. He probably knew more people in our complex than anyone else. He always had a smile and cheerful greeting for everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of your great loss.
Jane, Jason and Joanne:
We were so saddened to hear of Gordy’s sudden passing. As well you know, we’ve known Gord as long as you have. We will miss his wit and great laugh but have such fond memories.
Fondly,
Marion, Scott (Alice) and Rick Meikle
