    He was especially part of our summer driving out east. We loved playing his music as we drove east to the sea to New Brunswick and Grand Manan Island ... Tracy, Angela and me...
    Thanks Gordon for the music.💗

    He will always live in my heart especially in the fall for salmon fishing and deer hunting. His voice was magical and helped me to realize it was time to engage in my life to do better and drove me to do better and accomplish my goals. A real soul mate of sorts that made me feel comfortable in my skin in this unpredictable life of disappointments and guided me to center my thoughts to do my best. Yhankyou Gordon Lightfoot. You will live on as your music guides my soul yo live on to do my best, thankyou and forever...🎉❤

    You could say he lived a full long life but it's so sad. His songs are timeless and we will always have that. Rest in peace Mr. Lightfoot and thank you for sharing your gift.

    As I was listening to his song "Rich Man's Spiritual" today, the lyrics just pierced my heart and made me cry. The lyrics are so meaningful today, the day his family laid him to rest. May the smilin' angel indeed lead you home with your two wings of silver. Rest in peace, Gordon.

      I had to listen, as it’s been a long time I have heard this song. Now as with you, it’s for real. Listening to him sing, was emotional.
      You Conveyed a very touching tribute, to Gordon.

    The fact that it started raining on his visitation day is pretty special considering that one of his best known songs is ‘Early Morning Rain.’

    Legend! He brings my Dad back to life whenever I hear his amazing music. One of the great song writers who Bob Dylan marveled at.

    Thanks to the family of Gordon. He got me through 4 years 1973-1977 in the United States Marine Corps. I was really missing my girlfriend.

    He was arguably the National folk singer of Canada! Any one of Gordon Lightfoot’s classic songs would’ve come in handy for a Guardians of the Galaxy movie!
