He started to swim ashore, but his own life was soon in jeopardy as the frantic and helpless older brother got a grip on him that threatened to carry the two of them under in the vicious undertow which was running.

| Bordillon | Gilbert Bordillon | Cape Breton Post | 19/01/2008 | Gilbert Bordillon 1946-2008 With deep sorrow we announce the unexpected death of Gilbert Bordillon, 61, of Wreck Cove. He died suddenly in Victoria County Memorial Hospital on Jan. 16, 2008. No one who crossed paths with Gilbert during his 10-year sojourn on Cape Breton's north shore will forget his enormous energy, enthusiasm and good will. His infectious laugh and 'joie de vivre' transcended all boundaries, creating a sense of universality and an enduring personal immediacy. A hug from Gilbert was like no other. Together he and Jitka created their Cape Breton paradise, Singing Pebbles, overlooking a magnificent shoreline. From the glacial rubble of coarse stone, they created a veritable sea of fertility, with gardens, ponds, animals and buildings. From these resources, they built a growing small business base. Gilbert's blade of enthusiasm was never dulled by the adversities that many might crumble under. He just got on with what he wanted to accomplish on a daily basis, no holds barred. Gilbert was a 'chef of all chefs' treating his friends to 'haute cuisine' delights fashioned from what he grew, raised and gathered locally. He set a new standard for those who take delight in gastronomic finesse. Jitka's desserts were always prefaced with Gilbert's fine cheeses, ordered from his special global suppliers, and a good baguette. Of course there was always a fine wine and genuine bonhomie. Please join family and friends from away and here in Wreck Cove in a celebration of Gilbert's life. A date in mid- February will be announce later. | 16/01/2008 | |||

Her sunset came gently on October 29, 2009. Lizzy is survived by her children, Lucy Lirette, Sheila (Ronnie) MacLeod, Helen (John) MacNeil, Charlene (Blaine) Thomas, Fred (companion Peggy Metcalf). Also mourning her loss are eleven grandchildren; twelve great grandchildren; her sisters Christy Burke, Mary O’Brien, Isabelle Baker, and brother Fred ‘Teddy’ Gouthro. Lizzy will be missed by Anna Boutilier and John Nickelo who affectionately thought of her as their ‘second mother’. She was predeceased by husband, Charlie; son-in-law, George Lirette and great-granddaughter Ariel Lirette. Predeceased as well by her parents, Nelly (nee Boutilier) and Joe Gouthro; three brothers and three sisters. Lizzy was a loving spouse for 39 years, and no child could wish for a better mother. Her way was to have each child believe that “Mom liked me best”, but in her heart there were no favorites. She treated all her children with equal measures of love and respect. Although she raised her family during hard times, her kindness assured that no one who needed a meal went without, especially at Christmas when plates of turkey were always sent to any lonely person in the neighborhood. Even as the years took their toll, Lizzy kept her interests in cooking, baking and home decorating. Nothing delighted her more than adding to and rearranging her vast collection of silk flowers. Great fun for her was playing cards. Her reputation as a card-shark was well earned. Many a challenger sat with her over a crib board only to come away “skunked” at the end of the game. She loved to win and when she won, her laughter was music to the ear. Mom left a poem that she recorded years ago. She wanted her children to know that “when the time came” we should dry our tears and know that her spirit would always be with us. Lizzy’s family and friends will miss her greatly and will take comfort from the good memories. She is at peace with her Lord. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 from 2-4,7-9 p.m. in the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay. The funeral mass officiated by Rev.

Great fun for her was playing cards. Her reputation as a card-shark was well earned. Many a challenger sat with her over a crib board only to come away "skunked" at the end of the game. She loved to win and when she won, her laughter was music to the ear. Mom left a poem that she recorded years ago. She wanted her children to know that "when the time came" we should dry our tears and know that her spirit would always be with us. Lizzy's family and friends will miss her greatly and will take comfort from the good memories. She is at peace with her Lord. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, November 3, from 2-4, 7-9 p.m. in V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay. The funeral mass officiated by Rev. Andrew Gillies is Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m. in St. James Church, Gardiner Mines followed by interment in the parish cemetery. All are invited to join the family for a reception in the parish hall, directly below the church. On-line condolences to the Boutilier family can be expressed at: www.vjmcgillivray.ca |
