Gordon H. Young, 92, passed away following a brief illness. He was born in Kirtland, Ohio on May 16, 1927. Upon graduation from Cleveland Heights High School, he joined the U.S. Navy, stationed at Pearl Harbor, attached to ComServPac. Following military service, he graduated from Ohio University (Athens), with a business degree and pursued a career in graphic arts sales.

One of his crowning achievements was helping to found the current Kiwanis Club of Stow-Munroe Falls, becoming the group's first president and later a division lt. governor while earning several honors and awards. Gordon had a contagious zest for life, right up to the closing of the final chapter in his life. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Carolyn; daughter, Kathryn (David) Price; sons, Robert (Carol), Thomas (Cindy, deceased) and Steven (Stephanie); 11 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren and several nephews and nieces.
