Dear Gordon family,
I am sorry to hear about Dr. Gordon's passing, but it seems like he had a long, full life.
I grew up as the Gordon's next-door neighbor.
I have a lot of good memories of the Gordons, like playing with their golden retriever, jumping on their trampoline, and shooting baskets with them. I remember being awe-struck by the awesome sound of Alan's guitar playing blasting from his room, which was an inspiration for my being an avid guitar player as a teenager. I appreciate Sarah's warning me about how rigorous engineering was when I was about to start majoring in it (I eventually switched to something else).
I remember Dr. Gordon being good natured and kind. I consider myself lucky to have been their neighbor.

I spent a good part of my childhood in the Gordon home in Potomac. My two favorite memories of Dr. G were when he fixed the power supply in my Heathkit guitar amp and his standard routine when we were shooting basketball in the driveway. He had a one-handed set shot and would launch one, say "one more," launch another and say "one more" etc.

So sorry to hear that Dr. Gordon passed. Jim and I have many fond memories of coming to the office and always enjoyed visiting our most FAVORITE dentist. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this most difficult time.

May the memories of Gerald as the wonderful father, husband and friend prevail. I knew Dr. Gordon through my friendship with Andy the past thirty years. I'll always remember him as a happy, generous and sincere person and appreciate how his influence has benefitted me in my connection to his family.

This is a man I respect and love. I say that in the present because he lives on in the people that he cared about, treated without asking for payment, invited into his house as guests... A gentle, principled, caring, and charitable human being who will live on in us. I remember -
some years as a kid - I was somewhat stressed between school bullies and difficult teachers, coaches etc. My vacations to his home were like stepping into an alternate universe for a couple days - where there was peace and stability. A lot of that has to do with the character of this man, his demeanor & the hard work he put into providing for his family
