I had only known Gordon for a short time. In that time it seemed liked I have known him a life time. He was a very caring,sweet,and loving person. I will miss his great sense of Humor. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife.

Will miss visiting with Gordie .. he takes with him to Heaven a sweet and loving soul. Know the past two or three years have been very difficult as he loved being outdoors and walking with his dog(s). Life changes quickly sometimes and now he is at rest. We will miss him in our neighborhood. Fanette
