Gordon Urban Sanford Jr.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Gordon was a true professional in the industry he served. He was as loyal to his employer Gulf Coast Marine as any employee could be. He supported his customers and truly cared for them. As a competitor, I always admired his work ethic and loyalty. Despite this competition, I always felt comfortable sharing best practices in our industry with him that could make both GCM and Turner Supply Co. better. We simply trusted one another. This industry will miss him as I will. RIP...

We were fraternity brothers at South Alabama back in the late 60's. We were close friends for many years after although we drifted apart over the last couple of decades. It comes as a sad shock to learn of his death.

Gordon and I were fraternity brothers at South Alabama. We were in Kappa Epsilon which became a chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon and he and I made livelong friends in that fraternity. After graduation we kept in touch for years. For a part of our lives we were the best of friends. It's shocking to suddenly find out he is now gone. In photo Gordon, often called Gus in those days, is sitting to the girls left at the old fraternity house in Mobile.

Super nice guy and faithful family friend.

love yall - shelby
