James Gordon Obituary

James P. Gordon

1945 - 2014



James P. Gordon, 68, of Pensacola, passed away on March 16, 2014. Jim was born in Waltham, Massachusetts. He served with honor in the U.S. Navy. Jim was an avid student at the University of West Florida and from there received two Bachelor degrees and a Masters in psychology. For many years he was a counseling psychologist in Santa Rosa and Escambia counties and the Pensacola Naval Air Station.

He is survived by his loving friends who shared some of his passions: sailing, games, music, good food and cooking, nature and animals, especially wolves.

We wish to thank the staff of Pacifica Creekside for their very loving and kind care of our friend.

Jim wished to be cremated and his remains will be interred at Barrancas National Cemetery, Shelter B, at 9:30am on Monday, March 31, 2014.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, 501 St Jude Place Memphis TN 38105. Oak Lawn Funeral Home and Crematory has been entrusted with the privilege of arrangements.

FAIR WINDS AND

FOLLOWING SEAS.

Jim, It seems like yesterday we were together. I was making the deserts for your board game night with your buddies playing "Dungeons and Dragons"....but that was in the 70's! Wow! Time passes so quickly and I miss you my friend. Sorry we lost touch after 1995. I wish I could have seen your sweet smile one more time! Love you.

Jim, I will never forget your smile, sense of humor, and great discussions from our days at the Avalon Center. Smooth sailing my friend!

Jim ~ where did the years go? Graduate school, discourse on the state of the universe, long sailing excursions & working as professional colleagues. I valued your friendship and already miss you. Know that you made a difference in the world...with your clients and with everyone who had the privilege of knowing you. Goodbye my friend ~ you will not be forgotten.

I have often thought of you over the years and always with a smile. I have so many fond memories of weekends in Destin and Panama City, our trips to Disney World and to visit your Mom, dinners with friends and getting all "dressed up" for the awards banquet at Whiting Field. You were so handsome that night! Most of all I remember you by my side when my father died giving me the support I needed. Even though we eventually went our separate ways, I am so glad that you came into my life all those years ago.

Sehr gut, Jim; sehr gut. I'll never again fix a turkey, or schuck an oyster without thinking of you and your skill and enthusiasm. May the Great Beyond meet your expectations and soothe your soul.
