Gordon was nearly family while I was growing up. He was a kind, gentle soul with the most beautiful home and garden. I cherish countless memories with him. He made every Christmas beautiful, and he made every summer so colorful. Gordon is truly missed. I send my love to PJ and all who loved him.

Gordon had a unique personality and subtle sense of humor. My children were his students at the Junior High. They thought he was an amazing teacher. We both taught in the Pleasant Valley Community School District. He was an asset to the teaching staff and an outstanding negotiator for the teacher's association.
