GORDON OSCAR KLOCKARS,
2021
Gordon Oscar Klockars, “The Klock”, passed away comfortably at Extendicare on October 21, 2018 in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, at the age of 77.
Gord is survived by his wife, Paula (nee Choloniuk); his children Adam, Tyler, and Robin Klockars; sibling Paul (Carole) Klockars; nephew Karl (Robin) Klockars of Ottawa,ON; and niece Kimberley (Tom) Young of Sesekinika,ON. He is preceded in death by his parents Karl Oscar Klockars and Elna Sofia Klockars (nee Sjolund).
Gord was born in 1941 in Kirkland Lake to Oscar and Sofia Klockars. He was a well-known and creative welder that worked at Adam’s Mine, taught welding and drafting at KLCVI, and welded with the United Plumber and Pipefitters Union. The most important thing in Gord’s life was his children and they will miss the “bigger than life” character that he was. He loved the outdoors especially hunting, fishing and cruising around Lake Sesekinika. He was a loyal friend and would drop everything to help a friend in need. Gord was a true Northern boy and lived his life with extreme and unconventional gusto. Almost everyone has a “Gordie” story and they are all probably true.
A Celebration of “The Klock’s” life will be held Saturday, November 17, at the White Eagle Bar starting at 1:00 pm. Come and share your stories with Gordie’s family and friends at one of the last of his regular watering holes. Offer Condolence for the family of Gordon Oscar Klockars
