I will miss Gorden. He was a friend, fellow vet and I had worked diligently with him in establishing several veteran monuments at Del City Patriot Park. He worked with us on the 1345th Home Coming parade when that unit returned from Iraq and he hugged my daughter(a fellow vet) Rebecca like she was his own.
God speed Gorden, you will be remembered.

I worked with Gordon at Tinker for several years when he drove a forklift. Although he didn't have to, he always helped me out moving the "big" stuff when he could because he knew it made me "jumpy".. He was a good guy and he'll be missed.
