Gordon Freas passed away one year ago today on November 7th, 2024. He was born on December 13th, 1934 to Loren and Gabrielle Theret Freas. After a short time in the army, Gordon worked for 35 years at the Weirton Steel Mill.
During that time, he met his wife, Virginia. They were married in 1962 and lived very happily together until her death in 1989. He had a love for sport and target shooting, loved a good game of golf with his mill buddies, enjoyed caring for his yard and home and worked crossword puzzles with ease. He enjoyed evenings listening to music and working a good jigsaw puzzle.
Gordon's favorite job was being a father to his children, Michele and Kevin and a grandfather to his grandchildren, Macy and Jack. He spent lots of cherished time visiting his children over the years and proudly attended his granddaughter's wedding in 2023. He had a great sense of humor and loved making you laugh. He is very missed by all of us.
