Thomas Gordon Obituary
Thomas Franklin Gordon, 72, of Bayard, passed away at his home on February 10, 2025, surrounded by his family. Born on April 29, 1952, in Oakland, he was the son of the late John Thomas and Madaline (Simmons) Gordon.
Frank attended Southern High School, joined the United States Army in 1970, and on February 12, 1972, married the love of his life and was just shy of celebrating their 53rd anniversary. He worked as a welder, and liked to attend online services at Anchor Church in Friendsville, MD. He was an avid deer hunter and fisherman, but his most precious time spent was with his family.
