I have not been able to look at this page until today.
Gordon was a good good friend and we shared a pain that no one probably would think that would bring us together.
He was lucky to meet a wonderful woman that truly got him through so much!

Gordon contributed a great deal to stock car racing. His knowledge and great personality will be missed. I always enjoyed interviewing him and working with him on stories for NASCAR Winston Cup Scene and Illustrated. With deepest sympathy and condolences.
