Michael Gordon Obituary
Mike, an exceptional golfer who 'shot his age' this year, was a man of many talents and diverse interests. His greatest priority in life was his wife of 41 years, Jean. They made each other better and loved each other deeply.
Mike was a cherished son, brother, and much-loved uncle. He leaves behind his brothers, Steve (Sally), Rich (Julie) and Fred (Kim), and his brother-in-law Bill Gellerman. He will be deeply missed by his many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends, all of whom he adored.
Donations in Mike's honor may be made to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (https://rmhccni.org).

It´s been many years since I´ve been in contact with Mike. We attended high school, temple and the University of Illinois together. Mike had a wonderful sense of humor. I remember him dancing to the Temptation records in college - ha! He was much better in sports! My condolences go out to his loving wife Jean and the Gordon family.

I join in your sorrow to love and lose a husband of so many years. Maybe he will meet up with Larry and they'll play some golf in the Netherland. You have some wonderful memories of your love.
