Not sure what to say?

Dr. West was an amazing professor. I had the honor taking several of his classes at College of the Desert. I just heard of his passing and my heart is saddened. My condolences go out to his wife and children, whom he spoke highly and frequently of. The lord works in mysterious ways and now we have an amazing angel watching over us. You will forever be in our hearts and our minds.

I had the privilege of meeting Gordon through the Southern California Medical Education Council. He was always willing to help and pass along his extensive wisdom. He was a superb human being, and I will miss seeing him at our meetings. My prayers go out to his family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. West two years ago at College of the Desert. He was an amazing professor, he made our class very interesting with his real life stories. He was such a dedicated man who loved helping students succeed in school. His love for his wife and children was shared with students and this only made him a true person to relate to. May he rest in peace. Best Regards to his wife and children.

He was such a nice man. I had him as a professor for two psychology classes and he was super cool always making everyone laugh! Rest in peace Professor West!

I'll miss you. You were always there.God bless your family

I am so sorry to learn of Gorgon's passing. He was one of my heros at Florida Ambualnce...one cool dude

Gordon oriented me to my new job at Florida Ambulance Service in St. Petersburg, Florida in the early 1970's. Gordon was one of the most positive people I have ever had the pleasure to know. Such a kind and gentle soul.

Gordon I will miss you my old friend & Partner.

Dr. West was my mentor at my first Alliance CME conference and we remained in touch over the past 5 years. He was a great mentor, inspiration, mind and man. I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to meet and be mentored by him. Gordon will be missed. May his memory be eternal.
