Industry Mourns the Passing of Campion Boats’ Gordon Elliott

Boating Industry Canada received this sad announcement early on November 6th from Brock Elliott at Campion Boats.

"It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing on November 4th, 2012, of our Chairman, Gordon Elliott, F.C.A., at the age of 82". Brock Elliott, President and son said, "It is difficult to find the words for such an announcement. Our Dad was such a great leader, his life filled to the brim, very diverse and rewarding. He made lasting impressions with so many people; from his professional accounting career, to his strong interest in agriculture, farming and ranching, to the power boat industry.”
 
Gordon Elliott, a founding shareholder of Campion in 1974, will truly be missed by so many in our Industry. His formal obituary will soon be posted on Campion's Facebook site.
