The S.U. news quarterly had a notice that Gordon had passed away. I was a freshman at Susquehanna when Gordon was a senior. Just finding my way in life and Gordon was every bit a gentleman to us underclassmen. I'm sure he was that way through life and is rewarded for his kindness and caring manner.
See you, Gordon. Ed Jones
