He studied tool design at Macomber Trade School, later working for Boice Crane, Surface Combustion, Libbey Glass, Toledo Scales and the Saline Ford Plant, retiring in 1985. He collected and repaired clocks and watches.
He married Lorena Grosteffon in 1982, and they enjoyed traveling, camping and engine shows together until her death in 2013. He was a member of the Whiteford Wesleyan Church.

We, the daughters of Gordon R. Huss, will be forever grateful for dad's example of perseverance, servanthood and faith in God. We reminded him continually that “the best is yet to come”, and now in heaven he knows that all too well.
Special thanks to the doctors and caregivers of Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Pastor Deisler and to friends and family for their support and prayers.
