Our sincere sympathy to Helen and the rest of the family and friends. Gordon surely in the past loved his fishing and hunting. I have good memories of jug fishing, trout line, and rabbit hunting with him and his beagle hounds. May the family also draw comfort from good memories and the hope that trusting Christ as savior and Lord can bring.
