I remember Gordon when I was 10 years old ! He lived around the corner from my house on Tuley road ! Gordon would always be seen walking the streets of the neighborhood witnessing to people about Jesus ! He shared Jesus with my mother and father and was instrumental in getting them to start going to church by sharing Jesus with them ! To make it really plain and simple Gordon was a witnessing machine ! This day and time the church needs more Gordons than ever ! I extend my condolences to Cathy and the entire family may God comfort all of you during this difficult time ! Love, Rev. Cabel D.Leavell and Family ! Prayers
