I have always had high regard and deep respect for Gordon. Having worked for his company for over 35 years I considered him my mentor and example of how to treat my employees. He was always firm but fair and treated me with respect and made me feel appreciated. It was a pleasure to be part of his company. My sincere condolences and prayers for the Reay family.
