Russell T. GORDON

I was one of Russell's students at Concordia University, from 1980 to 1983. He was the best teacher I ever had, and made me a better artist. I'm very sorry to find out (a year later) that he's gone. He was larger than life.

Your sister, (my mom) missed you so much in this life and now you are together again, free to paint together. You were both such extraordinary people that had such a profound impact on so many lives. Uncle Russell, you will be missed tremendously for some time to come.

July 2014. Russell was one of my teachers at Concordia many years ago, and was quite a memorable one. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. Sincere sympathies to his family.

Today i was painting, and I do nof know why, but I tought of Russell, my Painting and drawing teache in 74 77, what a man and a friendly teacher.
So today I decide to look for him on internet to find out this really sad news to late, to even go to the funeral home. Toutes mes condoleances a la famille et aux proches

Russell was an inspiration to artists and people in general, a nicer guy was hard to find.

Lost in thought at this moment, but Rest In Peace Uncle Russell...

As a former student of Russell's, (drawing class 79-80 at Concordia) I have fond memories, there was lots of laughter in the class. I especially enjoyed the music project for drawing.

I am honored I had the pleasure of knowing Russell. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and dear friends.

Russell will be so missed by his many many friends. He is irreplaceable. I wish I could hear his voice one more time. Zette

Russell was a man of amazing grace and a wonderful colleague. May his family find comfort in the recognition of Russell impact on many of us.
