Dear Keith and Paul and family: I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. I only met him a few times but he was always kind and welcoming to us in the days of "Hi-C". May God give you comfort through your memories. From an old friend.

We were distressed to learn of Gordon's passing. We have known Gordon and Jurene for many years. Gordon and Jurene were a fun loving couple - Gordon always had a great sense of humor. We knew Gordon through Toastmasters which he supported strongly for many years.
We will miss him.
