Born in Troy, he was the son of the late Clarence C. and Ruth A. (Hopkins) McRae. Gordon graduated from Albany Business School, and retired from G.E. in Shipping and Receiving in Selkirk. He loved doing puzzles, watching and feeding the birds, and rooting for the N.Y. Yankees.

(Carole) McRae; his grandchildren, Michael McRae, and Megan (Chris) McRae Beauchemin; his great-granddaughter, Eliza Beauchemin; and his two nephews, Jeffrey Taylor and Peter Jacobus. He will be especially missed by his dear friend who was like a son-in-law to him, Walter W. Brandow Jr. He was predeceased by his wife, Ruth Louise McRae; and his sisters, Phyllis Taylor and Jean McRae.
The family would like to express their gratitude for the loving care he received while at Shaker Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Whitaker Unit.
