It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Gordon Denford (1927–2025), the founder and visionary behind Berwick Retirement Communities.
Gordon was a true pioneer in the senior living industry, a prolific builder of communities and a leader who reimagined what retirement living could be. Guided by integrity and compassion, he always chose to do the right thing, even when it wasn’t the easy thing to do. His belief that seniors deserve vibrant, connected, and dignified places to live shaped not only Berwick, but the standard for retirement communities across British Columbia.
Beyond his accomplishments, Gordon will be remembered for how he made people feel. His warmth, generosity, and unwavering commitment to excellence continue to inspire everyone who knew him.
As we honour his life and legacy, we remain dedicated to carrying forward his vision & values with the same heart and purpose that guided him.
