Gordon was a loving husband and devoted father and grandfather. He met Vicki while she was playing tennis in the South African Open. After the match he approached her and introduced himself. That chance meeting was the beginning of their life together. Gordon's daughters, Mandy and Debby, were his world. Even with a very demanding profession which required significant travel his girls always came first. He loved them unconditionally as he did his grandchildren.Madison shares his great mind and unwavering drive, George shares his athletic ability and competitive spirit, Mac shares his compassion for others and love of sports, and Will shares his charismatic personality and adventurous nature. It is said, "Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from the other." Gordon lived an admirable life and will be dearly missed. Memorials may be made to The Deloitte Foundation.
