Nothing but good times with Gordon. My second friend at the post office (1st was Grant). So many fun times especially eating tacos at Arroyo's after work. This picture was taken a year ago at Costco. Running into Gordon anywhere we would just pick up where we left off. Rest in peace my friend!!!!

Will always remember his smile. Whenever he would pass by my operation at work at the GMF on Arch-Airport Rd. he would stop by and say hello. Because of our jobs, I had longer conversations with Grant, but I miss them both. They were only a few months older than me.
Condolences & prayers to The Mar Family.

I have known Gordon since high school, and we always hooked up for dances and parties in Berkeley, SF, and San Jose. He was always so easy to be with , and laugh with , and he laughed at himself so easily too. My friend, I am saddened, and you will always be a part of me, and you will be missed.
