August 2, 1953 - November 25, 2021 William M. Gordon (68) of West Hollywood, California passed away November 25th, 2021. Beloved brother of Amy Francer and her husband Gary, brother David Gordon and his wife Natalie. Dear uncle to Jacob Francer and niece Rachel Keeling and her husband Josh. Born on August 2, 1953 the son of the late Robert and Natalie Gordon Bill grew up along the ocean in Winthrop, Ma. Recently retired, he was beginning a new phase of his life when he succumbed to cardiovascular disease. A good student and an avid reader at an early age, Bill loved finding meaning in nearly everything. Whether exploring the universe with a home telescope or scrutinizing the miniscule under his microscope, he sought comfort in learning about and being part of the natural world. After receiving his bachelor's degree in psychology from Boston University and a brief period working for an environmental firm, Bill was a long time employee of Delta Airlines in the 80's. Florida, California and England were favorite destinations. He moved to California in the mid nineties and found a home in West Hollywood. He worked as an Assistant Director of Admissions at USC for over 20 years. Wanting to keep close to long time friends and family, he made several trips back to the Boston area. His study of Astrology, Tarot Cards and The I Ching drew people into his circle of friends. He wrote many articles on the subject but it was the interaction with people and their lives he enjoyed most. He was active in West Hollywood and California gay politics working for various candidates. Memorial donations may be made to the American Heart Assn.
