Obituary of Gordon Biskey

Gordon Zoltan Biskey died peacefully at the age of 80 years old. Gord treasured his wife Janet (nee Wellwood) of 58 years, considering himself the luckiest man alive that she chose him. He is survived by his sister Betty Poole and is predeceased by his parents Helen (Ulmanski) and Gabor Bicskei (Biskey). Proud dad to Mike Biskey (Karen)(nee. Flood), Brian Biskey (Rita)(nee. Martin) and Jim Biskey (Laura)(nee. Seagrave). He shared with everyone that he had 7 grandsons and only 1 granddaughter; David, Laura, John, Trevor, Troy, Max, Jack and Sam. He’d smile and say “I’m the luckiest man alive to have the family that I’ve got.” He spoke with passion about his life raising his boys at the home they built along the river in Thamesville. Gord committed his working career to Union Gas and retired after enjoying 42 years and 10 months, with the company. Along with spending time with his family, Gord loved playing cards with their many friends and going for drives to the lake with Janet. The care Gord received from Dr. Denys and his healthcare team was appreciated beyond measure. Gord held a special place in this heart for our support angel Jeral Lumley and was grateful for the love and laughter she brought to their home. We love and miss you grandpa!
