I will always remember "the Admiral" and pray for him and the family on this, his Heavenly Anniversary.

Dear Jean, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Your father sounds like a man of great energy and real accomplishments. Of course, you are a shining example of his legacy. Warm wishes,

A good friend and Brother Mason. There was always a big smile and warm greeting from Gordon. I will miss sitting in Lodge with him and talking about our time in the Navy. WWII and Viet Nam. He was so proud of the Orcas' and bantering with his loyal brother Jim Gordon. Open house at Tahattawan would not be the same without 'the Admiral' in his Knights Templar uniform standing guard over the goings-on. He has entered the Celestial Lodge Above. RIP Gordon.

Dudley and Family,

So sorry for your loss,my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort

May the family hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times you shared together as you celebrate a life well lived and loved by family and friends. My sincere condolences to the family and friends.Psalms 90:10.(GP)GA...

Though our grateful nation mourns with you in your loss, we can only feel a small part of the loss you are experiencing.

Your loved one will always be a part of our country's story. As such, their sacrifice on behalf of our nation will always be honored.

In deepest sympathy.

I had known Gordon and his wife for 17 years and enjoyed every moment of it. I always enjoyed sitting down with them at their home and chatting about times past. At the Masonic Lodge, we all knew him as the "Admiral", he seemed to enjoy being called that. I loved talking to him about his service in the Navy when he felt like talking about it. He was a regular at the Friday afternoon meetings of old Masons at Dunkin Donuts, we all missed him very much when he left for the Cape. But he and Helen are together again and that makes it all right.
