I would like to convey my deepest condolences for your great loss.

I so wish that I could have endeavored to contact Gordon sooner, to personally let him know what knowing him meant to me and my U.S. Army Warrant Officer career. Because it was his demeanor as a Warrant Officer that I patterned my own upon when I became a Warrant in 1980.

I worked with Gordon as a Staff Sergeant at Walter Reed AMC in the Mid-70's.

His memory will stay with me - always...
