I started off as a shop floor worker at Virtual Vision / Virtual Image Displays. Many times, an employee's knowledge, drive, and ambition goes unnoticed in the corporate environment; Gordon recognized mine, and advanced me to Manufacturing Manager. I have been able to utilize this advancement to land higher positions in subsequent companies than I would have otherwise, to allow me to provide for my wife and handicapped children. I am forever grateful for the opportunity he gave me. Thank you,...

Gordon was a great friend and mentor. I was very lucky to have worked with him in 3 different companies and get to hang out with him personally as well.

I greatly enjoyed working for Gordon, first at Boeing and then at ATL. He was an exceptional leader and innovator, and those who worked with him will never forget his influence on them personally and on the electronics industry. And now, some 30 years later, reading about the breadth of his lifetime achievements and about those he loved, it makes us all the more pleased to have known him.

Gordon was a friend as well as a critical and trusted mentor to me and to many others. In addition to ATL, his early work fostering UW technology transfer helped lead to many NW companies, including Philips Ultrasound, SonoSite, Philips Sonicare, Clarisonic, and Quantum Medical. He helped define and nurture what has become the NW tech entrepreneur culture. Gordon will be sorely missed. Best wishes to Diane and all of his family.

If ever we are asked to define "friend" we will only have to say Gordon, and everyone will know what we mean. He will be missed more than we can ever say...Diane, you are close in our thoughts. Tim and Sandi Premselaar
