Not sure what to say?

Farewell to a friend and a wonderful person to be with. I have many fond memories from working with you on the Galaxy Community Council and how you worked with us on our civic trips. Joe Marois

Condolences to Gordon’s family. He was a spitfire of a guy. Have many fond memories of working with him at Public Affairs at Westover. He was a great guy, that appreciated a good sense of humor, and having fun.
He will be missed.

Gordon was an understated but efficient, direct, and authoritative public affairs officer. I worked for him from December 2001, when he hired me, until March 2005, when this mainstay of the base retired. My heyday with this professional was during the Operation Iraqi Freedom surge at Westover in 2003. He was the “face of Westover,” and his professionalism and pride in the base’s operations would rub off on this impressionable staff sergeant. Years later, I’d find myself often in front of TV...

I always enjoyed talking to Gordon I will miss that.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

To all of you - so sorry for your loss. Be at peace and hold on to fond memories.

Rest now dear friend.....job well done! The Cote family.

Sincere condolences to all of Gordon’s family. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a superb writer, editor and public affairs professional. It was a privilege to serve with him for more than a decade at Westover ARB. Gordon was a true Patriot and an extremely loyal friend and colleague! RIP Gordo!
