Not sure what to say?

I worked for and with Gordon for many years and I'm proud to have counted him as a true friend.
Bob Boldt

Mr Christian was a world class Scoutmaster! His humor, devotion, and positivity shined brightly in every interaction I had with him. I'm glad to have known him. Honored that he attended my wedding, and glad he got to meet one of my sons a few years after that. He is fondly remembered and I look forward to meeting him again in Heaven.

Gordon was my first boss at Collins Radio Company in 1973. Great guy! He had more energy than anyone I've ever known and I learned a lot from him which served me well later in my career.
God speed, Gordon.

Just now heard of Gordon's passing. I worked for him at Rockwell/Collins and found him to be a great boss and steady manager. He was also a very good man and mentor.
Rest in peace my friend.
Richard (Rick) England.

Gordon was a great guy and a hard worker at Collins Radio. Always a smile and a kind word. I learned a lot from working with Gordon and the world is a poorer place with his passing.

It was a pleasure working for/with Gordon. He was always a gentleman and a gentle man. Prayers for comfort for the family.

Gorgon and I go back a long way at Rockwell-Collins. He was a real go-getter and wouldn't accept "it can't be done" as an answer. We learned how to do a lot of things that way. God bless him and his family.

A treasure, Gordon will be sorely missed!

Our family would like to express our condolences to the Christian family. We had the honor of meeting and speaking with Mr. Christian a few times through our common love of Scouting. He was always friendly, courteous, kind and we are certain lived by all of the other promises of the Scout Oath and Law. Our community and Scouting movement were deeply impacted by the legacy that Mr. Christian chose to create through his lifelong dedication and effort. Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with...
