I worked for Mr. Gordon in the early 1980's and he left quite an impression on me. I am sorry to learn of his passing, but know that he was a man who enjoyed life to the fullest and I sincerely doubt that he ever wasted a day. My condolences to his family and friends. He will remain endeared to me forever.

Efrem was an extraordinary man. My parents first engaged him personally but their relationship grew very personal. He was like a part of our family my parents travelled with him and saw him regularly. My brother Alan and I bothe worked in his office in the summers. My mother, Dutchie, doted on his children and she loved them dearly.
I was fortunate to practice law for many years in NYC and DC, where I came in contact with many skilled lawyers well known in their practice fields. Efrem was as talented a lawyer as the best of them. He was a genius in the courtroom.

Sorry to hear about Mr Gs passing ,my father (Tony) worked for him for years. He was a good and kind man, he will be missed.
Efrem was a wonderful longtime friend. We were fellow Hampdenites. His Picot's Place was where Bill brought the Modern Jazz Quartet after their 'gig'

Efrem was a wonderful longtime friend. We were fellow Hampdenites. His Picot's Place was where Bill brought the Modern Jazz Quartet after their 'gig' @ Springfield College. Efrem once put on a chauffeur's cap & had Bill sit in the back seat of his Rolls Royce for a fancy ride, both having a hilarious laugh at the event. We remember Lewis as a fine young fellow. Marilyn's 70th birthday had Efrem come to the party @ the Hampden House.
The world needs more the likes of Efrem Gordon!

Efrem was a mentor to so many attorneys, including myself. He was a brilliant trial lawyer, a remarkable wordsmith who also possessed a wonderfully dry sense of humor. Above all, Efrem was a true gentleman and a passionate believer in the American judicial system.
Efrem was one of a kind and will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Condolences to the Gordon family. I worked for Atty. Gordon at Picot's Place in Hampden for about 3 years in high school and was one of the nicest gentleman I ever had the pleasure of meeting. He helped me in ways that many wouldn't and I will always be in debt to him for that. Rest in Peace Mr. Gordon

Very impressed with Attorney Gordon's service to his country, educational and musical accomplishments, and especially his dedicated service to people over the course of such a long and distinguished legal career. He always presented as a pleasant and kind soul in court, and was a very special gift given to our community...Advocates with his character, capacity and temperament are rare gems indeed.

A much storied presence in our Western Mass legal pond for decades. Efrem was a brilliant lawyer. Witty and ever entertaining. Understood what it means to be a zealous advocate for his clients. Lived a rich, full life. My sympathy to his family.
