One of the most genuine man I’ve had the pleasure to meet. I’m gonna miss seeing him around the neighborhood.

I’m reflecting on the great memories of Uncle Gordon and all the family. Remembering his kindness, humor, and his aptitude at horseshoes! As a child I remember him making life fun, as an adult I found him an inspiration. His impression will always be with me. These memories are as vibrant now as if it were 40+ years ago. Thanks, Uncle Gordon, for all the love you shared..
