My deepest condolences to Gordon´s family. May he rest peacefully. Andrea DeRose

I knew Gordon for well over 50 years. He was a true artist and craftsman. Always learning and always improving. Often, while spending time with him in his dark room I watched in wonder as he turned a piece of plain white photographic paper into something magical. He was always quick to explain the processes and refinements involved in creating a work of Silver art. Once I asked him if he got bored with the school portrait work. He told me that every portrait or photo he took was important...

I loved Gordon very much. He was a very special person. Rest In Peace. Love, Stephanie.

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Gordie.I new him in School,and back in the Southside and Island days, Butler lost one of the good guys. My condolences to the families

Deepest sympathy for Gordon's loved ones. Our friendship goes back 79 years. Our life's journey took us on different paths but it was always nice to see him from time to time and catch up

Gordon worked for my Grandfather at Russell Bennett Studio. I used to help out at the studio when I was around twelve years old. I looked forward to seeing him when I went to the studio because he was so funny and such a nice guy. And I kinda had a little crush on him. RIP Gordon.

A dear, long known friend

Gordon Cavalero was the photographer for my wedding in 1979. He made my wedding memories special by taking beautiful pictures of our wedding day. May you rest in peace.

Dearest Gordon . We will never know how to thank you for all you did for our daughter Shannon McCarren.

You will always be her Beacon of Light
