Gordon Olaf Hendrickson

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Gordon at the Wyoming State Archives. We kept in touch and saw each other at various conferences before I retired as director/State Archivist. My condolences to his family and friends. He was a great friend and mentor.

Barbara and Family,
I am an old archives friend of Gordon's. I was director of the Alabama archives while he served in Iowa. My sincere condolences on his death. Gordon was an excellent friend and colleague. I regret that we had lost touch over the years since we both retired, but I remember his with warmth for his friendship and respect for his leadership and good judgement. He made us all better.

Barbara and family - I am so sad to hear about Gordon´s passing. Kind and witty, he was also a wonderful mentor and colleague. His legacy will live on throughout Iowa´s history community and all who had the pleasure to know him. Sending you my deepest sympathies.

Barbara, We were sad to hear of Gordon's passing. It was just a week or so ago that we shared conversation at ORF day at Camp Mitigwa. Gordon was a great guy, and a super scouter. Our world is richer because of Gordon. We will miss his smile and quick wit.

My husband, Tom, and I have very fond memories of the Hendricksons´ great Christmas parties and the delicious cookies Gordon made. He was a brilliant, kind man, and it was an honor to have known him.

Condolences to the family of Gordon Hendrickson on his passing. I am proud to have served with Gordon with the Mid-Iowa Council Boy Scouts of America. Gordon quite obviously gave back to his Nation, State & Community much more than he took. What a great example. Salute!

Barbara and Family - I only met Gordon a few times but he seemed like such a good, caring person. I remember him proudly showing me his wood working shop in your new home. I was also impressed by his volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America. He will be missed. My prayers and sympathy go out to Barbara and family
