Mark and Brad, the Burnham family sends you our condolences. . We all have such great memories of your dad back in the days we all lived on 34th Place. Gordon was always upbeat and fun, had a great sense of humor, and was the ultimate family man. Our thoughts are with you and your families.

Mark & Brad, I just heard about your Dad's passing. I am so sorry. Your Dad was larger than life and just like Jeff said, oh the nicknames! I will always be "Down the Hatch Annie" to him! I have very fond memories of growing up as your neighbor. Gordon made me feel like a daughter. I hope life is treating you both well. I would love to reconnect. Your Dad will be missed by many.

Brad, Mark and family - I just learned of your father's passing. My condolences to you all on your loss. I have great memories of your dad from my childhood including his larger than life personality as well as his penchant for nicknames (Herfie).
Be well.

I send my sincere condolences to the family of Gordon regarding his death. I have many enjoyable and fond memories of my 'growing-up-years' which were shared with Gordon. He would often refer to me as "Big Mike" even though he was taller in height than myself. I shall miss my first cousin, Gordon. He is in my prayers - may God Bless.

To the Carnese Family. Our thoughts are with you all during this sad time. Whenever I would see Gordy he was always happy, smiling and full of life. Good memories of him will last forever and will fill your hearts with sunshine and warm thoughts of him.

My sympathies to the family, especially Brad and Mark, who I used to babysit back in te 1970s. Gordon was so much fun, fond memories of trips to Seaside with the Carnese family. I reconnected with Gordon last year, after bumping into his cousin at Columbia Edgewater on a trip to Portland. Gordon and I caught up over a long phone conversation and agreed to meet up next time I came to Portland. Was great to hear him so happy, with his sons and their families, his lottery winnings and his ongoing frequent trips to Seaside. I actually was just thinking of Gordon this last weekend, thinking i must look him up when I visit Portland later this year.Brad and Mark, my heart goes out to you. I would love to meet your families when I am in Portland next. [email protected]
