Brother-in-Law to Fred Stroud (1985) Ray (1998) and his wife Linda Stroud. Predeceased by his parents Jack and Kathleen Frew and father in law and mother in law, Wallace and May Stroud. Gordon will also be dearly missed by many nieces and nephews.
Gordon was a well-respected farmer and neighbour in the community of Norwich and county of Norfolk. Gordon was a pioneer and legend as he along with his wife Marie, successfully grew the family home farm into a legacy for generations to come. Gordon or Mr. Frew was a trusted advisor and mentor to so many. Gordon enjoyed his cash crop farms, but his love of beef cattle is what he will be remembered for the most.
Gordon always took time out of his busy schedule to support organizations like the Ontario Beef Producers for Change, he was a Director on the Norwich CO-OP Board, member of KTV United Church and faithful devoted brother of the Scotland Masonic Lodge 193. Gordon also enjoyed euchre with so many friends and family.
He will always be known for the love of his family and friends especially all his grandchildren. He was so proud of them all and had a sweet spot for “the boss” Bodhi. Love ones will miss Gordon’s phone calls but especially his smile.
