Gordon was truly a gentleman. He was very thoughtful and caring of others. I could always count on a card or he would send notes to me to check on how things were going in Virginia. I loved enjoying time with him when I would fly back to MA in Worcester or at the Cape.
We Loved to talk and catch up. I will miss dear Gordon. However, I also feel blessed that I will always treasure the Memories I had with him for many years. Dee
