I was saddened when I heard the news of Gord's passing. He was one of the good guys you meet during your life. Still think about him when something crosses my path reminding me of things we worked on together. He is missed.

It was the early 80's up at the Slabber in #1 Hotmill, we had just changed a set of edger rolls and were in the process of loading them on a float. The assembly weighed 35 tons. Gord was standing there watching , as we raised the roll one of the cables came off causing the roll to fall onto the deck of the truck causing the trailer to break in half. I've never seen anyone run that fast! When I went to his office I told him there was a guy out on Ottawa street wanting to sell him some running shoes, I can't repeat his comment but we laughed many times about that.
Gord and I travelled quite a bit in the 90s on machine tool related trips, I have nothing but the fondest memories of countless trips accomplishing great things and laughing into the wee hours of the night on every occasion.
Leslie to you and you family, please except our deepest sympathies
During these trying times. He will be missed and fondly remembered.

I met Gord Hall in the late seventies. I was a millwright apprentice and he was a Mechanical Technologist in #1 Hot Mill. He later left Dofasco to test his entrepreneurial skills. Gord's friendly and easy manner drew people to him. Of course he was successful - Gord loved a challenge and solving problems. His family, Leslie, Greg and Brad shared his passion for sailing. He loved to take friends out on Lake Ontario and introduce them to sailing. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to be shared. RIP my friend , until we meet again Dan and Judith Tiefenbach.

We are saddened to hear the news of Gord's passing, I go back 50 years with Gord, I do not have any pictures, but I do have lots of memories. When Gord started at Dofasco he was put on a training program, he was put under my care in Engineering for 3 months, bit of a joke, although I was older, not by much. He had just spend some time on the high seas as a deck hand and had seen a bit of the world and had lots of stories. Later on, Gord was placed with the Maintenance Department and our careers were intertwined for several years after, working together on several large projects. Through the design stages we made numerous trips to Montreal and Pittsburgh. he had a great personality with a cheery smile, he was also a brilliant engineer. Later when Gord & I had both left Dofasco for greener fields, we kind of lost contact with each other although we did bump into each other about 25 years ago in a restaurant in Hamilton, we were in separate rooms with customers, when I overheard a loud laugh, thinking to myself, that sounds like Gord Hall, it was.
Our daughter Louise will become a grandmother during the month of June, as a toddler she had a toy wooden dog[ Digger], it only had 3 legs and each time Gord would visit with us he also made time for Digger. We now live up the Bruce Peninsula, last night when I noticed Gord's bereavement on line in the Spectator, I E mailed a copy to Louise, she remembers Gord and still has Digger.

A tribute to Gord Hall, my friend.

AFTERGLOW by Helen Lowrie Marshall:

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun;
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

When our family first arrived at Fifty Point, the kids were 1 and 3. Gord came right over to them for a high five. Although their little hands barely tapped his, he pretended like it was the best high five ever ... shaking his hand and blowing on it. This resulted in peels of laughter from the girls. From that day on, they always looked for Mr. High Five as soon as we arrived, would run over and give him a high five! No matter what he was doing, he always stopped to make them feel so special (and strong). Mr. High Five holds a special place in our hearts and our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. The Dinyer family is sending him one last love filled high five 👋
