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.

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! Rick and Kathy Dyer Manchester, Conn
