Gordon was a good friend and a wonderful mentor. One could learn a lot from Gordon. Especially modesty: in spite of being very successful in his field, he didn't claim any personal credit but rather attributed it to "being born in the right year". My guess is that Gordon travelled his earthly journey without acquiring a single enemy. A good man; we were lucky to have him among us.
