Mr. Gordon took a class from me in United States History many years ago. On several occasions after that,, he stopped by my office just to say hello and chat. I enjoyed those visits greatly. He was a bright, dedicated student and a quiet, respectful young man. I will always remember his enthusiasm for history and his many contributions to class discussions.

I think about William R. Gordon Jr every time I am parking in E.E. Just Hall. I parked in #21 and I believe he parked in Dr. Gordon's Space. He and I would have long talks about life and the political landscape. I miss this time with him.
I encourage the family to do the same. Think about the good days and the smiles that he always had on his face.

William was a very nice young man and I am sure he is having a great time in Heaven.
